There seem to be several articles that suggest this is possible but I have not found any that actually work.<br />
<br />
&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:email@address<wbr />.com?subje<wbr />ct=Subject<wbr />&amp;attach=pa<wbr />th&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
Where attach is either attach or attachment and path is full path to local file with or without double quotes.<br />
<br />
There is also the method of using a form to POST to a mailto address as per HTML Goodies - couldn't get that to work either.<br />
<br />
All I want to do is attach a text file OR put the base64 equivalent in the body. The base64 part is easy - however using the GET approach is problematic because of the length restriction on the URL - my string is 30K.<br />
<br />
Anyone managed to get this to work?
