I just used the URI style because that is what Mozilla uses on the command line, but if that is an uncommon usage it makes sense to use /path/to/file instead. I also surrounded the attachment file list with single quotes as per the Mozilla specification. I should probable get rid of those as well. The attachment portion of the mailto string will change from &attachment="'file:///path/to/file1,file:///path/to/file2'" to &attachment="/path/to/file1,/path/to/file2"
