Hello,
   I don't think you can attach files through the mailto: protocol.  It
would be akin to allowing a website to send an email with an attachment from
your computer.

You should probably use MAPI, or a 3rd part SMTP component to send the email

www.persits.com has some good stuff for this I think

Hi,

I like to send e-mail with attached file (zip_file) from VB6 useing :

ShellExecute mdiMain.hwnd, "Open", "mailto:" & e_mail_adresse & "?subject="
& zip_file & "&body=" & body, _
     vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus

but it's not working - Outlook express startet but without attachment!

Is there a guru who can help me?
