title: Does Outlook 2011 allow attachments through mailto link?
body: <p>I am trying to start composing a new message via <code>mailto</code> on OS X. I have set my default email client to be Outlook, so I can open up Outlook with a preconfigured message like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>open 'mailto:SomeEmail@example.com?subject=hey&amp;body=how are you doing'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I want to also be able to use the <code>mailto</code> link to add an attachment to the preconfigured message. I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>open 'mailto:SomeEmail@example.com?subject=hey&amp;body=how are you doing&amp;attachment=/Users/myName/Desktop/testFile.rtf'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when Outlook opens, there is no attachment. I have read that whether or not attachments are allowed with <code>mailto</code> links depends on the client. Does anyone know if Outlook 2011 allows for this type of attachment?</p>
