You cannot attach a file .. check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14228703/attaching-a-file-in-email-in-html5-web-page) — Sandeep Nayak, Jun 24 '16 at 06:46

You can not add an attachment to a message with the mailto: URL scheme due security reasons:

The user agent interpreting a mailto URL SHOULD choose not to create a message if any of the headers are considered dangerous (...) Only the Subject, Keywords, and Body headers are believed to be both safe and useful.

mailto: only supports header values or text/plain content.

According to RFC 2368.
