I spoke to one of the Evangelists at Apple about this and he confirmed that currently mailto URLs are the ONLY way to send emails. Email attachments are also not supported in the URLs (even though mailto does support an attachment query). I think that's related to the nature of the sandbox environment - the mail application does not have access to your applications folders to attach anything that you specify. He also included the following statement:

"Attachments are something frequently requested but not currently available. If you can log a bug explaining your needs, and the limitations you're running into with the body URL parameter, it might help illustrate the urgency for attachment support."

Not sure if that means this will happen eventually, but I hope it does. We need to be able to attach files!
