mailto attachemnts attach a file from web server??

Now, it is possible to attach a file from client computer by

<a href='mailto:?subject=Company news&attachments=""C:\a.txt""'>email</a>

Now, i want to attach a file like that http://www.abc.com/abc/abc.txt? how can i do?

regards,

There's no attachment property and if there was, how could you know where the file is located? Why not develop a web form and have them select the file to send as an attachment?

Because the user need encryption in the excel file which will be attached. Their encryption is embedded in their outlook. So, tell me how can i do that in other way? The excel file is also generated dynamically through the data.

If you must depend on Outlook, then why not have them use Insert > File before they send the email?

And realistically, it's client-side encryption in Outlook, the client has to initiate the email in their copy of Outlook. Best you can do on the server side is a MailTo link with a note for them to attach the file. You can always write client code to do this of course.

If everything is done manually, they don't need us any more. Let me tell you the process.

Initial Data -> Process (web server) -> Report Data (web server) -> send email to user (need encryption) and reports as attachments

If there is way to make encryption in server side, there is no needed to load the Microsoft Outlook and make attachment link.

There are a lot of ways to do encrypion server side, which method would meet the requirements of your organization?

They want to encrypt the file (excel) that will be attached. Is there encryption way to encrypt the excel? But, the problem is that when the user see the encrypted excel, he has to decrypt again. So, at that process, the decryption process has to done by program or the way that is simpler for user.

You can encrypt any binary file you want with the System.Security.Cryptography namespace. You would need some sort of password system, or client certificates, something so that you have a private key.
