Cfmail w/attachments issues

Question

Hi there,
I have a basic html form where the user can add attachments.
The action form uses cfmail to send an email to an address with the
form contents as well as the attachment. However, I am having
issues with this part and am at a loss. Do i need to do an upload
first? or mim attachment? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
My cfmail code looks like this:
<cfoutput>
<cfmail to="[email protected]"
from="a test person"
subject="Request for yada yada">
Name: #form.name#
Article: #form.text#
<cfmailparam file="#form.file1#"> (If i actually put
in /tmp/test.txt which is a file on the drive i am mapped to, then
the cfmail works and delivers .. but this doesn't help me for other
people and their attachments)
</cfmail>
</cfoutput>
This never goes to the email address.. instead it goes to
undeliverable with this log. (p.s. I use my actual email address
for the 'to')
body: Name: test
body: Article: t3est
body: Files:
/engines/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp40024 .tmp
file:
/engines/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp40024 .tmp
file-type: application/octet-stream; name=neotmp40024.tmp
file-disposition: attachment

Thanks for the reply. I decided to try an cffile = upload for
the file, but got an error message that time: (the .tmp file name
is not the name of the file i attempted to attach). I really want
to use the first option you gave and I thought i had done this
correctly.
The form field
"/engines/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp4009 2.tmp"
did not contain a file.
The error occurred in
/engines/iplanet/v6.0/docs/intranet/exchange_action.cfm: line 12
10 : #form.file1#
11 : <cffile action = "upload"
12 : fileField = "#form.file1#"
13 : destination = "/logs/iplanet/docs/eol/secure/exchange/"
14 : accept = "image/gif,application/msword">
Things to check
1. Does your form tag include enctype="multipart/form-data"
If these suggestions don't work please post all of your code.
Edit: Removed incorrect suggestion related to file
