Including an attachment to an email

A

Audrey

I have a web page with a document library. I would like to have a link for
each document that will allow the user to email the document (similar to
microsoft's right click "send to" mail recipient). This is new for me and I
appreciate any help you may have on this subject.

Thank you!!!

The only way I can think of :

1) the user clicks the link, the file opens in the application (eg the document
is a word file, opens in word) then the user clicks file, send to, email, and
voila, their email client opens, with the attachment in place, ready to be sent
(like you described below).

I don't think there's anyway to do that from the web page itself unless there is
a solution around, probably requires complicated programming/application
development.

Hi Andrew, I tried it but it didn't work, mainly because many of the
attachments are PDF and there is no "send to" in Acrobat. Are there any
other suggestions out there? I really appreciate your help.

Very bad idea to so from a website...

1. The user would have to download the document and then attach it to the email.

2. You would need a custom server-side script written in whatever scripting language is support by
your web host that would send attachments after a user completed a form on your site.
