Please go back and re-read my previous message, starting with HOWEVER. I answered this question there.
You CANNOT attach files from your app's internal directory. The mail app has no access to that file, it is private to your application. This is the intended behavior. If you want to provide that content to the mail application, you will have to do so via a content provider.
