Email Attachments on Windows
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 3:24 am
Hi
I'm hoping to get some advice on which Livecode email solution to use within an app which I'm developing.
Requirements:
- must work on Windows desktop, Android & IOS mobile; but - if that's what's required - I am happy to use MobileComposeMail for Android & IOS, and something else for Windows desktop. It is the windows desktop solution that I'm stuck on at the moment
- within my LC app, I want the user to be able to select a file generated by the app, then have the email client open with that file pre-loaded as an attachment.
- Ideally, I'd like the users default email client to be the one which opens with the attachment pre-loaded.
At the moment my thinking is that the way to go is:
- Mobile - MobileComposeMail; plus
- Windows - HMTL mail, but my understanding is that this would mean dropping "I'd like the users default email client to be the one which opens". I'm heading down this path because my understanding is that a RevMail solution couldn't handle attachments and a TsNet mail solution would require me to store the attachment on an external server (which I don't want to have to do).
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
Kim
