  For reference, a typical string as I send it to MailMate:

  mailto:john%2Ekueble%40image%2Ede?subject=IMAGE%20GmbH%20%2F%2F%20Lidl%20Interactive%20Spot%20%D1%20Rechnung%20121116%2D0082&body=Lieber%20Herr%20K%9Fble%2C%0D%0Danbei%20unsere%20Rechnung%20f%9Fr%20den%20Lidl%20Interactive%20Spot%20Film%2E%0D%0DWir%20hoffen%20das%20Projekt%20entsprach%20Ihren%20Vorstellungen%2E%0D%0DViele%20Gr%9F%A7e%2C%0D%0D&attachment-url=file://%2Fvar%2Ffolders%2Fkr%2Fyd3vlvrs3%5F9df4hflddfrpb40000gp%2FT%2F121116%2D0082%2Epdf

  I'm not an expert in AppleScript, but the problem seems to be encoding related. All text given to the script should be UTF-8 and that does not seem to be the case. Do you know the encoding of the provided text?

  Here is an example of me asking MailMate to create a message with the subject 'æøå' (Danish letters):

  osascript -e 'tell application "MailMate" to open location "mailto:mm-feedback@freron.com?subject=%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5"'
  

  But MailMate should not crash! Do you have an example that crashes (the above didn't). I'll review the code. (Looking at the crash reports that problem seems to be related to attachments.)

  I've reproduced the crash bug and I'll fix that part of the problem.

  Hi Benny,

  sorry for being slow to respond. Lots on my plate recently. Is the crash related to the attachment or something else? I ask, because I need the attachment to work for this. I am using this script to send my invoices from GrandTotal to MailMate instead of Mail.app. And that obviously requires me to attach said invoice. :)

  I'll try and fix the UTF-8 issue on my end.

  I believe it is a general bug related to attachments, so you probably cannot make it work before I fix that bug. But I have a few other issues I have to fix first (this one is driving me mad) :-)

  No worries. I found a workaround that works for now.

  tell application "Finder"
     reveal the_file
     activate
  end tell
  

  Not as elegant as directly attaching a file, but opening its locations and then a quick drag & drop will do for now. :)

  Also, I when I leave off the attachment, my code seems to work fine. No UTF-8 issues even with more complex characters.

  Cheers Benny! I'm looking forward to trying it out.
