I am trying to determine how to send a tif attachment from a mailto: link...

Any suggestions?
 
Well when you click on a mailto: link it will open up a mail message from your default mail program with the TO: field already addressed.

Then you will just add the TIF file as an attachment as you would any other type of attachment.

Is this what you are asking?
 
I actually need the file attachment to occur automatically when the user clicks on the mailto: link...

Any ideas on that one?
 
If the TIF attachment is going to be the same each time you could create an Outlook template (.oft) and post that on your web. But then again that is assuming that everyone accessing the web page uses Outlook.

Apart from that I think something like this my work but it may only work for netscape.
<FORM ACTION=&quot;mailto:someone@somewhere.com?subject=REPORT&quot;
METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ENCTYPE=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;FILE&quot; NAME=&quot;myReportFile&quot; SIZE=&quot;70&quot;><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;SUBMIT&quot;>
</FORM>

This is more of an HTML question that really is going to be beyond my meager skills.
