    Hi,

    I'm trying to send viewers to a url without actually putting the url in the email (don't ask I've been asked whether it could be done?) via an email attachment.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks Spence :confused:

    There's always batch files...

    But, you know. Who's going to want to open a batch file from an email?

    I would not open the attachment myself, but I suppose you could save the page as a .html file and do a meta refresh - I believe that would work.

    Or you could imbed the url as an image in the email. . . though it might not show properly for all viewers.

    Not sure what the reason would be for doing this, maybe there is an honest, legit, non-spam reason for this. . . . ?
