It is possible to call the default email client via a "mailto:" URL, but most email programs no longer support attachments for security reasons. Unfortunately, Outlook also supports only one "/a" parameter via the command line and thus accepts only one attachment/image. There may be a possibility with native Windows code, but this will happen later. Maik
