mentions that the best way to send email from the users selected mail client is via a mailto: url, but that attachments can use a special resource, although this is not supported by Apple Mail - AppleScript should be used as well.

Does anyone know how I can tell what the actual preferred mail client is, so that I can use AppleScript (presumably custom for that specific app), or the resource based approach, where it's supported. If anyone know a library that does this already that would be amazing.

Note that I already have a built in mailer. I'm specifically looking to open a new message in the user's preferred mail client, with one or more attachments.

 cheers,

Not sure if this will help, but we do an open source library that allows you to send mails via different clients. Mail, Eudora and Entourage are currently supported.

I believe you can figure out what the default mail client is by looking at the URL handler for mailto.
