What if we want to reveiw the message before sending? I think this is what Rolf is after.

>>>I want to start a new message in the default email client from VFP with an attachment specified.
>>>From Microsoft Word it can be done.
>>>From OpenOffice Writer it can be done.
>>>From Adobe Reader it can be done.
>>>Every major software vendor seems to know how to do this.
>>>mailto: does not support &attachment I have found out.
>>>How shall I do it from VFP?
>>
>>Do you want to send the message or bring the default e-mail client with everything pre-filled to the user to press the Send button?
>>The first could be done with many different methods. The second I know how to do for Outlook and probably GroupWise, but to do with every possible mail client would be a bit trickier...

>Or skip the mail client and use BLAT. That way VFP *IS* the mail client.
