How to send e-mail with an attachment from remote database server.???

Question

Hi All,
I have tried the simple mail sending and with the attachment using UTL_SMTP. But the problem is , it is sending the mail with attachment of the file name i give, it takes and creates that file and sends as attachment not from the actual file location. I am trying to attach the file which i stored in remote database server.
The following code I tried. But not worked for attachment
DECLARE
   v_From       VARCHAR2(80) := '[email protected]';
   v_Recipient  VARCHAR2(80) := '[email protected]';
   v_Subject    VARCHAR2(80) := 'test subject';
   v_Mail_Host  VARCHAR2(30) := 'pop3.somedomain.com';
   v_Mail_Conn  utl_smtp.Connection;
   crlf         VARCHAR2(2)  := chr(13)||chr(10);
BEGIN
  v_Mail_Conn := utl_smtp.Open_Connection(v_Mail_Host, 25);
  utl_smtp.Helo(v_Mail_Conn, v_Mail_Host);
  utl_smtp.Mail(v_Mail_Conn, v_From);
  utl_smtp.Rcpt(v_Mail_Conn, v_Recipient);
  utl_smtp.Data(v_Mail_Conn,
    'Date: '   || to_char(sysdate, 'Dy, DD Mon YYYY hh24:mi:ss') || crlf ||
    'From: '   || v_From || crlf ||
    'Subject: '|| v_Subject || crlf ||
    'To: '     || v_Recipient || crlf ||
    'MIME-Version: 1.0'|| crlf ||     -- Use MIME mail standard
    'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;'|| crlf ||
    ' boundary="-----SECBOUND"'|| crlf ||
    crlf ||
    '-------SECBOUND'|| crlf ||
    'Content-Type: text/html;'|| crlf ||
    'Content-Transfer_Encoding: 7bit'|| crlf ||
    crlf ||
    'some message text'|| crlf ||     -- Message body
    'more message text'|| crlf ||
    crlf ||
    '-------SECBOUND'|| crlf ||
    'Content-Type: text/html;'|| crlf ||
    ' name="Fund Authorization report"'|| crlf ||
    'Content-Transfer_Encoding: 8bit'|| crlf ||
    'Content-Disposition: attachment;'|| crlf ||
    ' filename="/usr/tmp/Test.html"'|| crlf ||
    crlf ||
    'HTML Attachment'|| crlf ||     -- Content of attachment
    crlf ||
    '-------SECBOUND--'               -- End MIME mail
  utl_smtp.Quit(v_mail_conn);
EXCEPTION
  WHEN utl_smtp.Transient_Error OR utl_smtp.Permanent_Error then
    raise_application_error(-20000, 'Unable to send mail: '||sqlerrm);
END;How can I attach a file which is stored in database server and send it in a mail.
Please someone help me in this.
Thanks,
Alaka.
