Attachments in emails

[Diego F.]

Hi. I need to write some code to open the mail client and attach a file. I'm
searching about this but I can't find anything.

mailto does not admit attachments, so I need other way to open the mail
client (Outlook) with the attached file.

Is that possible?

You've actually got two problems here: Getting the file to the client
computer and launching outlook with it attached.

In a nutshell, without writing an activeX control that installs on the
client computer (requiring special security privledges) there is no way to
accomplish it.

If a web page was allowed to do what you describe without special security
rights there would be web pages all over the internet that upon visiting the
page would hijack you into sending spam.

I understand the security problems, but as the mail client is Outlook and
you can write contacts, appointments, etc, maybe I can do what I need also.
