Including attachemnts is theoretically possible by using a construct
like:
mailto:email@hiddenid?subject=this is the subject&body=here is
the body
Please see attached file&attachment=\\host\myfolder
\myfile.txt
Assuming the user has access to the referenced file, that should work,
but I am not sure of the syntax for referencing a file on a mac system
(the posix path shown in my example is unlikely to work). I also don't
know how well the various mail clients that you may encounter will
handle this construct which is part of the mailto url spec, but may be
handled differently by each client.
have a play with it and see how you do - I'd be interested to here how
it goes!

Hi All,
I am looking for a way to launch the users default e-mail client
and populate an e-mail message for them to send.
Would I look at Mail.plist to find what their default is? Is there
a better way?
Would Mail and ENtourage use the same commands to create a new
mail message, specify a recipient, attach a file, etc?
Thoughts would be appreciated.

no need to look at anything - just say:
open location "mailto:email@hiddenid";
This will use the default mail app. for the client.
