open email with attachment

I'm trying to open an email with an attachment from my web page. All users have MS outlook and have access to the files I'm trying to attach. When I try it as follows it opens the email but doesn't attach anything

<a href='mailto:[email protected]?Attachment="C:\test\test.txt"'>Attach to Email</a>

What could be the issue?

Thanks

Mailto links with attachments aren't possible. This would be a bit of a security hole if they were. You will have to include a link to the file somewhere else.

Chris Coyier does a good job of covering all possibilities of mailto links
