We have a parametric CAD system which runs as a Java applet. To save
drawings, it can try to do a local save, so we have the option to 'Save via
server' in which case the applet POSTs the data to a cgi program on the web
server and opens up a new window to handle the response. The file can then
be saved from the web browser.

The cgi program is written in C, but an equivalent could be knocked up in
PHP in a few minutes. If you really need to email the drawing, then you
could get the PHP program to email the drawing as an attachment instead.
Cheers
