How to take a picture and send it as an email attachment in iOS

Question

Currently, I can set a button to take a picture, but I'm unsure how to pass this as an attachment for an email in the same view.
The view is for a quote and allows the user to enter data into a few fields then has a button to email said data.

Maybe this link would satisfy your requirement for the second half of the question...

    UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"mobiletuts-logo.png"];
    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage);
    [mailer addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:@"image/png"   fileName:@"mobiletutsImage"];

Thanks for the help...but I'm trying to 'push' the file from the camera as an attachment without having to save it first. – Tribulation

You can save it to library and access photo from there..Its just a suggestion. – Hoofbeat
