@expert: I don't post twice mate. If the page isn't refreshed after I press the submit button, I press it again. Anyway, I deleted the second post immediately on realising it, isn't it?
Can you give a download link in your email? How do you do that? Simply by giving the full path of that file on the web. In the same way, if you keep a link to file that is on your hard disk, you can let someone open it directly from the mail. But for that to work, you must know the exact path of the file. That is where the difficulty is at present. It differs from mail client to mail client. OE stores in one way, Thunderbird in another way. But even if you assume OE, as I already said, there is a random folder name which you don't know. If there is a way to find that, then its pretty easy.
You can try this.
- Create sample.txt in C:\
- Compose a mail and create a link in there with
Sample File
- Click on the link. It will open sample.txt
In the same way, if you know the path where OE stores attachments, you can open it by keeping a link in the main body of the mail. Hope you know that all the attachments that you download are stored somewhere on the harddisk. We know most part of the path, but we need to know that exact path. Any way to do that?
Alternatively, don't attach the file, upload it somewhere and keep the link in the body of the mail. Thats better netiquette, anyway. The receipeint will download it at his convenience.
