File attachment by QDesktopServices::openUrl

[samdol]

Hi,

I tried to call my email client to attach a picture file by

QString filePath ="c:/myf/aft.jpg"
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("mailto:?subject=test&body=test&attachment;="
+ filePath));

It calls my mail client program, but it did not attached the file.
I tried both windows and linux. Is this a bug or do I have to do something else?

iirc mailto: does not allow this by definition.

Only a minority of clients allow attachments via a mailto: link as it's a potential security vulnerability. You have to rely on the client's own API to include attachments to email and there is nothing Qt can do about it
