I’m trying to use the mailto link to attach a file to the email editor.  
Something like this:

[email file](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid?subject=Check%20out%20this%20file&body=see%0Aattachment&attachment='./pdf/myFile.pdf')

doesn’t seem to work. Any suggestions?

Does rails have something that manages this?
