I am scripting an attachment to mail.  If I use the path name

/users/me/desktop/abc.pdf

the attachment function works fine

If, however, I use the path name

Macintosh HD/users/me/desktop/abc.pdf

the attachment never is attached.

What am I missing here? Shouldnt an absolute path name name work as well?



This is ye olde Mac style path. The Mac style has the volume name prefixed to the file path and uses colon delimiters


"Macintosh HD:users:me:desktop:abc.pdf"

This is ye older Unix style path

"/users/me/desktop/abc.pdf"
