Pete,
Sorry... This isn't currently possible with Evolution. There is no
way to bring up the composer with a file already attached. I believe
this is planned behavior, but has not yet been implemented nor planned.
Obviously we (Ximian) want Evolution to play nice with StarOffice and
OpenOffice and this is needed.
