Auto Attach Emails?

We are setting up, or at least attempting to set up, a site with downloadable hires PDFs of a certain client's work. We want them to send the file directly to the vendor for printing.
Someone suggested having the link to the ad pop up their email with the file already attached.
Now, I know how to make a link pop up a new message. Either blank or to someone specific. But can you have a file (in this case, the file they clicked on) to be automatically attached to that same doc?
Any help anyone can lend would be a-okay by me.
thanks,
bB

I've never done it with a mailto and I don't think it's possible. It is however quite easy with asp.
Example of the code available here:

You should be able to do this with almost any backend software... It's basically a mail form script that auto attaches a file.
There are lots of form mailers out there that allow you to attach attachments, you could just modify the scripts and make one for each file you want attached.

I believe you can also attach .exe's some way so that they play. Hmm, at least this Flash book was saying something about that.

I think and I hope outlook and all mail software prevents .exe to play automatically otherwise that's a serious security threat... But that's another thread.

right, that's the problem, but I could have sworn I saw that in a book.

I posted this a while back. Never quite figured it out.
So my big question is this:
I have my simple link made in GoLive. I know, yuck.
How do I make it, when clicked, interact with this code to successfully open up someone's email program with the ad attached:

Or are we talking 2 different things here. Can do? Can't do?
Bucky no speaky heavy code lingo so break it down into bite size chunks if you can.
thanks,
