Outlook 2007 - send link to network document, rather than document

[Erica]

We email .pdf documents around the office as attachments to Outlook
messages. Users are not diligent about deleting their email and our
email stores are enormous. Is there a way to email a link to a
network document, instead of attaching the actual document? I am
hoping that being able to do so would save space on our server.

Sure, there's a way, but I doubt people will use it. It involves placing
documents on a file server or web server and then typing in a UNC or a
hyperlink to point to the document. Who's going to do that? (Well, I do,
but I'm unusual.)
