How can I attach a file to this mailto string?

string mailto = "mailto:" + to + "&SUBJECT=" + subject + "?BODY=" + body + 
    "&Attachment=" + attachment;

This doesn't work; the file isn't attached.

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

When a webmail user clicks a mailto: link, he gets either a confusing message about no email client installed, or the link opening in an… >>> More
