Lei, I am aware that Mozilla and Thunderbird do not support attachments via mailto. I resolved that with a simple wrapper which changes the mailto option into the standard command line options which do support attachments. The wrapper name can be specified the wine registry.
Your script is probably unnecessary, since there's already a tool for Linux email integration called xdg-email. It doesn't support attachments for Thunderbird yet, but I already submitted a patch. [1]
You should specify the attachment file names as /path/to/file, which is the format supported by xdg-email and every other Linux mail client, rather than file:///path/to/file, which doesn't work for anything but your script.

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"
