Mailto Thunderbird email with Attachment

Hello,

I'm looking to email a record by using the "Open URL" Script using "mailto:" in that script. I can't use the standard "Send Mail" script because it will not open Thunderbird 3 :) . So, with my current script, I'm able to open thunderbird, address it, add a subject, and a body, but it will not attach the pdf that I save on my computer.

This is what I have thus far as an example:

"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Camden Service Call&body=ServiceCall&attachment=file:///C:/$TempPDF.pdf"

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you -

Jeff

mailto: protocol doesn't officially support attachments. See below

Interesting.....So Are there any other options to attach a PDF or Excel record from filemaker Pro 10 to an email, without having to do it manually?

AppleScript?
