Is my understanding correct that the conclusoin of posts on mailto and
attachments is that mailto: cannot include a pdf attachment?

The following is my five line data file.
EmailData file
DrO
01
[[{11(2test01)}DrO]]
info@painreliefdiet.com
>>>>
then my macro
Application (WordPerfect; "WordPerfect"; Default!; "EN")
FileOpen (Filename: "C:\LifeModTest\EmailData.wpd")
SearchString (StrgToLookFor: "@")
SearchNext (SearchMode: Extended!)
SelectMode (State: Off!)
PosLineBeg ()
SelectMode (State: On!)
PosLineEnd ()
PosCharPrevious () //To skip the Hard Return.
EditCopy () //Copies the client's email address to the
clipboard.
SelectMode (State: Off!)
v=ClipboardGet //v now equals the client's email address.
vaddress=v
vPath= "C:\LifeMod\"
vbody= "Thank you for participating. "
vSubject = "LIA"
//Now get the PDF file name to the clipboard. Then do an
f=ClipboardGet.
PosDocTop ()
SearchString (StrgToLookFor: "[[")
SearchNext (SearchMode: Extended!)
SelectMode (State: Off!)
PosLineEnd ()
Type (Text: ".pdf") //Types the extension on the name.
SelectMode (State: On!)
PosLineBeg ()
EditCopy () //Copies the PDF file name to the clipboard.
CloseNoSave ()
f=ClipboardGet
vAttachment="vPath"+f
//Execute the email.
AppExecute("mailto:"+vAddress+"?subject="+vSubject+"&am
p;body="+vbody+"&Attachment="+vAttachment)
This AppExecute is good except no attachment is present. Why no attachment?

When I changed the Tools>Settings>Environment>Use Wordperfect 9
Settings
the result is the same, no attachment when the Thunderbird Compose
window comes up. Everything else seems to be all right. There is just no
attachment with the email.

oh BTW I don't know how to test a macro step by step so I just keep
redoing it until I get it right.

Thank you for that. I will use that in the future. But, I see not need
to change what I already have as it is in many, many places in the
macros. When Selection mode is on the PosLineEnd () command takes the
hard return at the end of the line. So the PosCharPrevious () skips
that HR.
