That sounds like the way to go. Even if the van allowed you to send it, scanned images of docs would be bloated & very expensive to transmit. Unless you're using AS2, in which case you could send whatever you want.

My initial reaction as I started reading your post was that you were faced with a situation where you effectively wanted to send a variety of 'attachments' to an EDI message, most of which were not really intended for automatic computer processing - and that the solution was to send a reference to them, with the attachments placed on a web or (secure) FTP server. This was the solution you proposed. I was slightly amused by the fact that my support function for client EDI systems involves sending binary email attachments (executables and compiled tables) and, because of the increasingly aggressive mail scanning carried out by many companies, I now as a matter of course place the files on a webserver and send only the URL in the mail body itself.
