No, it isn't possible, you'll need to download the file first. Using Phil Sturgeon's cURL library for CodeIgniter you should be able to get the file

$this->load->library('curl');
$img = $this->curl->simple_get('http://mydomain.in/path/to/attachment1.jpg');
$filename = basename($img);
write_file("./upload/path/" . $filename, $img);


and then include it

$this->email->attach('/path/to/attachment1.jpg');


You could later build in caching to check if the file was already downloaded / exists so it doesn't need to fetch it again.
