I want it on both Mac and Windows.

Bill,
You're welcome. I just tried the MIME suggestion I had, but I'm
having
no luck getting it to work. It relies on headers, which a "mailto:";
will not let you specify (other than subject, to and cc).
What you may try is using a VBScript or Windows Scripting Host.
While
they may provide a solution, be aware that most AntiVirus and
AntiSpyware programs will display an alert to the user.
Also, something to be aware of, revMail doesn't locate the default
email
client on Windows Vista properly. Bug report #5286. I have posted a
fix on the report if you need it.
If you do end up finding a solution, please let myself and the list
know. This is something that a lot of us have been trying to
figure out
for a long time. Thanks.

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,
