Mailto and attachments

I can create the email with the subject, to, and mailbody, but trying to add an attachment is maddening.

Code:

<a href="Mailto:<%=custrepemail%>?cc=<%=Mgr & ";" & contact & ";" & CellMail%>&subject=<%=mailsubject%>&body=<%=mailbodyx%>&attachment=""<%=mailattach%>"""><font size=5>Send Email</font></a>

Format is correct as far as I can see. Now, the file exists on a shared drive and I refer to it directly:

Code:

Mailattach="\\Servername\docs\GenSHi-PRT.doc"

It opens, filling the correct areas except the attachment. I have also tried calling it by the drive name and locally as well.
Aarrgghh...

What else can I try?

Anybody?

Re: Mailto and attachments

It may not make a difference but I would change the link to

Code:

<a href='Mailto:<%=custrepemail%>?cc=<%=Mgr & ";" & contact & ";" & CellMail%>&subject=<%=mailsubject%>&body=<%=mailbodyx%>&attachment="<%=mailattach%>"'><font size=5>Send Email</font></a>

Do you also know the user clicking the mail link will need to be access \\Servername\docs\GenSHi-PRT.doc directly so it can be attached to the mail?
