FWIW, i have an application that does exactly that. It runs a some VFP report straight into a TIF format, wich is an exact replica of the reports, is very compact ( 40 to 50 K / page ), and then it is sent as an attachement by email. In Windows 98, the Kodak image viewer opens by default to view this file at the client's sites.
If you need help on how to achieve this, drop me a line.

Regards,
Jaime
