Add automatically a file to send by e mail

glro

this code launches the email program on the computer

UI.openURL("mailto:???@???")

Is there a way to add automatically a file?

i didn't find anything here http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/ui.html#openURL

You can't add 'arguments' to a UI.openURL() - it's a 'path' only tool.
BUT you can write a cmd/bat file with the needed data and then open that [it 'executes'] and that can pass/use arguments written into it thus...

START mailto;"someone@somewhere.com?subject=The%%20Title&cc=%%20&bcc=%%20&body=Hello%%20testing%%20123

See here for more details http://www.robvanderwoude.com/email.php or http://www.paulsadowski.com/wsh/cmdmail.htm
There are ways to escape the used special characters if you want...
Just compile the message File.write to a temp file called say 'C:/Temp/emailer.cmd' then
UI.openURL('file:///C:/Temp/emailer.cmd') to run it.
You can even make it erase it self as it ends...
