I agree with Herfried, as for web page based application, cilent side functionality is quite restricted, we can not do much like desktop application. Also, "mailto" is a querystring like feature which can not hold large binary data for attachement.

I'm using VB .net 2003 and writing a Windows App. From searching for the answer to dealing with email on the web I see many people want to know but so far I haven't found the answer.

I tried an approach using mailto: and SendKeys, but it didn't work with all mail clients, not even with Outlook and Outlook Express. I ended up using the MAPI controls from VB6 to do it. It would seem that there would be a simple .Net way to launch a mail client with a file attached. -- Show quoteHide quoteAl Reid "cj" <cj@nospam.nospam> wrote in message news:%234dvVHebGHA.2188@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Oh, I should have said, they might not be doing this with mailto: > > I don't care how it's done as long as I can do it. > > cj wrote: > > There's gotta be a way.

I'm just now re-looking at
CMM's recommendation to me in my first posting "Send To Mail Recipient". While the example he gave me of using MSMAPI32.OCX in .net included sending the email I think I can leave the send part out and do what I want. I was thinking there was a simpler way. And mailto: seemed so easy. Right up until I had too much info to put in the body. Then I thought I'll write it to a file and attach the file but file attachment via mailto is non-existent or at least not standard. Maybe in VB.net 2007 we'll get a simple way. Well, figuring this out is what I'm paid for so I'd better start looking at MAPI. Special thanks to CMM for the at the time unappreciated MAPI solution that now looks to be the most promising. And to Aziz for the incredibly simple but sadly insufficient mailto: info--I have no doubt I'll use it in the future. And to everyone else who helped.

However, this won't work with a 'mailto:' address. -- M S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/> Al,
Those others you mention are probably thousands. It is one of the most asked questions in these dotNet newsgroups. The answer is in a way as Herfried wrote it. This is not something Microsoft can handle. It has to do with the first designs of the mail clients. If it is not about the "default" mail client than there are solutions by using Mapi's. But than it is not default mail client anymore.

This is a bit over my head but I thought this might be of interest on the subject. http://www.codeproject.com/internet/SendTo.asp If you can make any sense of it and it's useful let me know. I'm going to try CMM's recommendation now to use MSMAPI32.ocx that he gave in response to my first post.
