Thanks Derek.
What I want to do is essentially what Microsoft does in Word and
Excel. You can email the document you have open and it uses the
default email client on both Macs and Windows to do it.
That's a good point about web mail programs. I hadn't thought of
that. Unfortunately, I can't depend on a server somewhere for this
software.

Bill,
What you could do is create the body of the email and encode the
attachment directly into the message via content types (I believe it's
called MIME). To see what I mean, view the source of an email message
with an attachment.
I am not sure though if *all* email programs would honor the embedded
code when it's passed via the mailto:, and would instead just
display it
as inline text as opposed to an attachment. This may create confusion
for some users.
There is one other consideration that I hope you have not ignored, and
that is that a LOT of people don't use traditional email programs.
They
use web based email like Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. I had implemented a
mailto: script in one of my programs, only to replace it later on
with a
PHP script on my server that would send the email regardless of what
type of email they used (or if they even had email at all).
I hope that helps you in your efforts. If you're interested in a copy
of the PHP script, email me off-list and I'll send you a copy.

The following command works great for opening a new email message and
putting the address(s) in it. What I would like to also do is add a
specific attachment to the email as well but I don't see a
parameter for
doing that. This would be for Mac and Windows now and Linux when
Rev 2.9
comes out.
revGoURL "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I know there are ways to send email directly from Rev apps but in
this
case I would like to leverage the email program the user already
has and
not require setting up SMTP parameters.
Thanks,
Bill Vlahos
