html form w/attachment using ASP

Hello. I'm new to ASP so this is just greek to me.

I'm trying to get an HTML form with a browse option that sends the users first name, last name, address, etc. and at least three attachment files (the other two are not required.)to an e-mail address. The site is hosted on godaddy which offers a premade ASP file for forms. However, ASP doesn't support enctype="multipart/form-data" for forms. It only displays the for info and the file extensions of the images.

I e-mailed godaddy and they told me to make a custom form and use the ASP CDONTS code:
relay-hosting.secureserver.net.

The problem is I don't know where to start with this.
A lot of the ASP scripts I found on the 'net are really confusing. Some only have attachments (which require you to list a file from your computer.) Others just list the form information but none of the attachments.

I pretty much found godaddy's gdform.asp useless based on other people who are in the similar situation and more or less from godaddy themselves.

So in a nutshell I want to know this:
-How do I have the e-mail list the user's information AND display the image(s) attached to the form?
-Where do I put the ASP CDONTS code I listed above?

Thanks in advance!

Here's the code I found and customized earlier this week. Is this script correct? If so, how do I integrate file attachments to it?

Update: Ok. I found out the above code works fine but I'm changing my plan. I want to send the form to an
e-mail but I want the documents to upload to a separate folder on godaddy.

When the recipient opens the e-mail they'll have the senders information from the form and links to the documents on the server, so when they go to that page they can download them to where ever they want to. That way if some one want to upload a big file in the e-mail it won't effect the upload limit for the
e-mail account.

Is there an easy way to do that?

I use JMail to process forms and you use something like

Not yet but I'll keep you all posted. I'm still testing different scripts out and found none successful. If I find a solution, I'll post the working script for you.
