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.

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