Why when sending a form to the mail only the file name is sent, but the file itself is not?

<form action="mailto:rproger@mail.ru" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="file" name="foto" size=50 value="ваш аватар"> <input type="submit"><input type="reset">

Usually, files are transferred via this form <form action="/upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="userfile" /></form>

And in php you need to take using $_FILES['userfile']; and check.

Because enctype="multipart/form-data" necessary, not enctype="text/plain" .
