I was thinking about making a function on an Intranet page. A file from the 
Intranet would
automatically get attached to the e-mail message.. that was the idea. 
Solving it using some
sort of e-mail from might just turn out to be the better alternative though.

What kind of file are you trying to attach? It should be up to the visitor
if they want to send you an attachment. Just asked them to send you a file.
Be aware that not all visitor's have their browser's configured to send
email, so your mailto: will not work for everyone. You may want to consider
using a email form that gets submitted to your server. Just a Thought.

Subject: [Javascript] Adding attachments with mailto:

I'd like to make a script that automatically attaches a file to an e-mail
message
when you click on it. Are the only parameters I can use with mailto:
subject and body?
Any hint on how I can solve this problem?
Cheers,
