How to force 404 or 410 if query string contains 'attachment_id'

I'm trying to force an error (either 404 or 410) if 'attachment_id' is in the query string. I had tried something with mod_rewrite, and then thought that this is probably not even something that needs to be done with mod_rewrite, but I don't know how to handle this. Any suggestions, links to something similar, or help with actual code is appreciated.

Well, I figured out a solution based on stuff I saw at corz.org:

 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} attachment_id=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) /404 [L]

 

This is for Wordpress, and while I'd rather have Wordpress display it's own 404 page, I just had to get something working.
