mailto: and attachments
Tue, 01 Apr 2008 02:03:02 -040
Hello again

I am trying to send, as an attachment, a PDF document that was just saved.
	I put the file name on the clipboard with code, then

	vPath= "C:\Myfolder\"	//These three lines of code are in the original

macro.
	v=ClipboardGet
	PdfDlg(vPath+v+".pdf")	//All is fine.


Now I want to send this pdf file automatically via email.
I get the email address to the clipboard with some code (I change the 
clipboard contents), then

vPath= "C:\Myfolder\"
f=ClipboardGet		//The new email address clipboard content.
vaddress=f
vBody= "Thank you."
vSubject="Thank you email."

vAttachment= "vPath"+f	//The f is now the new clipboard contents

Appexecute("mailto:"+vAddress+"?subject="+vSubject+"&am
p;body="+vbody+"&attachment="+vAttachment)


Everything is in the email Dlg, but it is the Attachment business that I 
am messing up somehow.
Was the old post still true in wpuniverse.com that mailto: cannot 
support attachments?

As I told you in your Macro FileSave thread, the method to email 
attachments depends on your email Application.  If you tell us what it 
is, we might be able to suggest a method.

When using the MailTo protocol, attachments for Mozilla Thunderbird, 
Windows Mail (Vista), Eudora 7.1 - All of them ignore the attachments 
always, no error shown.

You can easily test MailTo in Start > Run.

For me, MailTo: gives an error saying that the default email program was 
not properly installed.
