how to Send an EMail with attachement in custom module

Question

I'm new to magento I created custom module for customer quote request, In that after filling quote request we need to send an email. So that I wrote fallowing code.

I add the Add Quote button in below form.

design->frontentd->Test->default->template->catalog->product->list.phtml

<p><button type="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Add to Quote') ?>" class="button btn-cart" onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>')"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Add to Quote') ?></span></span></button></p>

when customer click I navigate the design->frontend->Test->default->template->checkout->cart->test.phtml file, this design code below.

<form action="<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/quote/sendMail') ?>" method="post">

    <div style="border-color: red;">
        <div class="page-title">
            <h1>Request For Quote</h1>
        <div class="fieldset">
            <h2 class="legend">RFQ Requirements</h2>
           <table>
               <tr>

In app\code\core\Mage\Checkout\controllers I created QuoteController.php this code is below.

<?php

class Mage_Checkout_QuoteController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    function indexAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->_initLayoutMessages('customer/session');
        $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setTitle($this->__('Request for Quote'));
        $this->renderLayout();
        Mage::log("Request for quote");
    }

    public function sendMailAction()
    {
        //send Mail
        Mage::log("Send Mail");
       $to="dotnet@gmail.com";
        $com_name = $_POST['company'];
        $contact_name = $_POST['contact_name'];
        $pro_title = $_POST['project_title'];
        $phone_tel = $_POST['phone'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $date = $_POST['date'];
        $bud_status = $_POST['budget_status'];
        $comment = $_POST['overview'];

               $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";

               $headers = "From:$email\r\n" .
                   "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
                   "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
                   " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

               $subjects = "Request For Quote " . "From : $email";

               $subject="Details From : $subjects";

               $message="Company Name: $com_name\r\n".
                   "Contact Name:  $contact_name\r\n".
                   "Mobile No.: $phone_tel\r\n".
                   "Email: $email\r\n".
                   "Project Title: $pro_title\r\n " .
                   "Estimated Date: $date\r\n " .
                   "Budget Status: $bud_status\r\n " .
                   "Comments : $comment\r\n";


               $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n" .
                   "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" .
                   "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n" .
                   "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n" .
                   $message . "\r\n\r\n";

               $message.="--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

               @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

        Mage::log("Send Mail End");

    }

}

when customer hit the Send Request button I call the sendMailAction() action but the mail is not sending.

even though I configure the mail settings in admin panel also but it's not sending mail.

can anyone tell me where I went wrong & tell me the how to attach if any files is there?
