Open a new e-mail with attachment in the default e-mail program.
-
I would like to open a new e-mail with an attachment in the default e-mail program, similar to the functionality in WinZip's context menu. I can open a new e-mail, but I can't make it recognize the attachment. Anyone know how to do this?

I think it is specifc to the mail client. To the best of my knowledge, Outlook Express and Thunderbird disregard attachments in mailto links like this one:
<a href="mailto:email@email.com?subject=test&attach=c:\file.zip">send email</a>
Update: Check these out: Open Default mail client in .NET[^] and Programmatically adding attachments to emails in C# and VB.NET[^]

I can confirm that they will disregard the attachment when using the mailto: link. This is the way that I have been trying to use. But it must be possible somehow. WinZip and several other archivers are able to do Zip and e-mail, so it must be possible.
