How to include attachment with mailto?

[sarah2michelle]

Is there a way to create an email with an attachment through a mailto command line? Here is what I have so far...

start mailto:test@test.com?subject=See&body=See Attachment&attachment=c:\test\account3.bmp

This will create the email, but no attachment.

I am using outlook, but want this to work with other mail apps also.

I'm not positive this is the correct forum, but it does appear that you guys do work with mailto. If this is not the correct forum, can someone repoint me?

mailto is an html construct so forum215 might be a better bet.

but i believe that the answer is no. you cannot use html to attach a file to an email (it would be quite a security risk, don't you think?).

you can, however, upload a file to the server and have it mailed out.

mailto is an HTML thing. not PHP. Try here: forum215

Thanks! I'll try the other forum and cross my fingers in the meantime.

With Outlook -not without some kind of script, I recon.

Very far off forum topic, however, if you have access to a SMTP server, then try this :

Works like this :

smtpsend -f[COLOR=red]you@yourdomain.com[/color] -t[COLOR=red]me@mydomain.com[/color] -s[COLOR=red]This is the mail subject[/color] -a[COLOR=red]Attached image.jpg[/color] -h[COLOR=red]smtp.yourdomain.com[/color] -i[COLOR=red]MessageText.txt[/color]

Works fine for me ;-)

Good Luck
