Sorry, I haven't noticed you are still running Evo 1.4...

I'm not sure on that version, cause I haven't used it for about a year
or so. Anyway, according to my archive this should work with even older
versions and the "attach" string, rather than "attachment". Try

  evolution "mailto:foo@bar?attach=/path/to/attach"

(copy'n'paste from the archive) or with "to" explicitly set

  evolution "mailto:?to=foo@bar&attach=/path/to/attach"

Does this work?
