Hyper link help, please
-
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to link a file to a email via a hyperlink control? I'm writing a utility for some of our customers and would like to include a link for them to click on that sends an email with a data file back to us. I'm basically looking for the syntax to use if it exists. For example, there is also a link for feature requests, and the syntax I'm using for that is: mailto:PaulBelikian@SomeCompay.com?subject=feature Request is there another keyword I can use to attach a file to the email also? something like: mailto:PaulBelikian@SomeCompay.com?subject=Data file upload?Attachment=C:\CustomerFile.XML Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't seen anything in the mailto syntax that supports that - Attachments are usually MIME encoded at part of the body and not the header. RFC-2368[^] does describe a "body" section, but it is plain-text, follows the keyword and most non alpha numeric characters must be encoded (i.e. space is represented by %20) Steve
