Run, mailto:someone@domain.com?subject=This is the subject line&body=This is the message body's text

Now, is there anyway I can get it to include an file (attachment) to the email?

Have I done something wrong on this forum?

The is the 3rd time I've asked a question in here and got blown off.

I've seen "I need help now!!111" get more attention than my posts.

Maybe because you ask for Mailto help
and not AHK.

I use mailto but just email field.
Sorry, cant help you

[ecksphore]

Run, Mailto: is a AHK command

it depends on what type of email client you are using. Some support additional option "attachment" (i think), you can google for it (sorry, i don't remember how to do that exactly.)
If you are struggling with Outlook i found a solution for that, by copying and pasting a file.
this: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25416 will provide you with a function to place a file onto your clipboard, after that use WinActivate command to activate "new message" in outlook, then just send ctrl+v , that's it.
If you will get stuck, just post your code and i'll be glad to help.

You know how when you right-click a file one of the options is Send To->Mail Recipient? I wonder if it would be possible to use some variation of however that works. I investigated a little but it was beyond my skill. I doubt it would be too hard if you know where to start. Though I don't know for a fact that it's possible to set the recipient, subject, and body with that method.

Generally speaking: AutoHotkey is a great !

I introduced it in our company a while ago and the response
is very positive. The learning curve is small, the benefit is high !

Recently I wrote a software distribution tool based on AutoHotkey
and now we have a process monitoring tool which includes sending
textfiles back to the server.

Here is a little excerpt that shows the usage of the mailto command:


;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sending emails from AutoHotkey is very simple by using the standard 'mailto' command
; The command launches the default mail application and creates a message.
; All you have to do is handle the send action.
; The following code has been successfully tested with MS Outlook
;
; Dieko Jacobi, 2008

; The general format of the mailto command is:
; mailto:email address[,next_email address] [?cc=carbon copy email_address] [&bcc=blind carbon copy email_address] [&body=Any text...]

; Address of the recipient(s)
address=user@domain.com
subject=Some feedback

; You can use the content from a text file with the FilerRead command.
; (Binary files can to be converted to hex values but that is another issue)
FileRead, body, C:\Textfile.txt

; ... or create the message:
body=Dear Sir,`r`nthank you for your contribution.`r`n`r`nHere is my response: AutoHotkey is great !`r`nBest regards,`r`n`r`n%A_Username%

; Compose the mailto string
msg=mailto:%address%?subject=%subject%&body=%body%

; Format the mailto command so it creates a nice message
stringreplace, msg,msg,%a_space%,`%20,all
stringreplace, msg,msg,`r`n,`%0d,all

; Run the command
run, %msg%

; Wait for the Outlook mail window to come up, identifeid by the subject line
winwaitactive, %subject%

; Time to breathe ...
sleep, 300

; ... and send it
send, {CTRLDOWN}{ENTER}{CTRLUP}

ExitApp

;EOF --------------------------------------------------------------------------

This has frustrated me in the past as well. You can reliably do just about everything with mailto + parameters, but the attachment parameter doesn't appear to be fully (or at all?) supported by Outlook.
