URL calls are just that. AFAIK there is no parameter for attachments.
Attachments may have differing file extensions for Windows, compression
schemes, etc. These aren't intended to be handled by URL "mailto:"
parameters, and even if they could, the parameter type names would probably
be different from Emailer to Emailer.

if you're using a Mac, rather than using the URL, you might have to write an
Apple events routine in AppleScript according to the available AS functions
in the AS dictionary of your particular Emailer.

There may be other solutions.
