Bash script - New mail with attachment

[Klau3]

How can I add a file to a new mail? I have written a bash script that enables me to resize pictures to a certain custom MB size. Next step is, that I want to add the ZIPed images to a new mail message (→ standard mail program of the user). I tried with:

gnome-open mailto:max.example@example.org

... but couldn't find a way how to manage it. A tip would be nice.

I still don't know how to send mail attachments with gnome-open from Terminal.

For Thunderbird it works this way:

thunderbird -compose "attachment=/home/[username]/..."

A quick glance at the source makes me think it is not possible with gnome-open. gnome-open looks like it only pays attention to the first argument, and only processes gnome-specific options. But I may be wrong. Check it out yourself in the libgnome2-0 source.
