Adding several attachments to thunderbird (from command line)

Question

I try to create a new message with several attachments via command line, but this does not work:

thunderbird -compose "attachment='/etc/mtab',attachment='/etc/fstab'"

Only the first file gets attached. The second is missing.

What is wrong with the above command line?

PS: I tried xdg-email first, but this fails. See How to open the user's preferred mail application on Linux?

Answer 1

the command must be specified as

thunderbird -compose "attachment='/etc/mtab,/etc/fstab'"

I have tried under windows.

Answer 2

Another way to attach several files:

thunderbird.exe -compose to="info@gmail.com" ,subject="SubjectText" ,body="bodytext" ,attachment='D:\File.txt,D:\File2.txt'
