Sending email with attachment

Question

Hi all,

I just wanted to send an email through unity with the screenshot of the screen(iPad screen) as attachment.

Currently I came across to this for emailing :

            Application.OpenURL("mailto:?subject=subject&body=bodytesting");

Also I am using ReadPixels for saving my screenshot.

So please help me here with forwarding the screenshot as attachment.

thanks in advance..

1) save screenshot to file:

 Application.CaptureScreenshot(Application.persistentDataPath + "\\screen.png");

2) Open url with attachment :

 Application.OpenUrl("mailto:?subject=subject&body=bodytesting&Attachment="+Application.persistentDataPath+ "\\screen.png");

b) Application.OpenUrl("mailto:?s ... opened gmail on android with subject and body but did not add the Attachment - maybe a security feature? I put several file types (zip, png, txt) in the Application.persistentDataPath to attach but none worked

If you store the image / attachment in a private folder of your application the email app of course can't access the file as only your app is allowed to write or read this folder. You have to store the image at a location where the email app can reach it. Though i never tested it.
