Flash mail *Solved*

[Gruzin]

Hi guys,
Sorry if wrong forum...
I want to send Flash animation on email, is it possible? and how can I start?

Thank you very much for your assistance,

I believe it is possible.  Try googling for "multipart mime" and see what you come up with.  As an alternative, you could try sending an email in html format and embedding a link to a remotely hosted SWF file, this would reduce bandwidth on the positive side, but would mean when people are offline they wouldn't be able to view it.  Having said that, in the day and age of broadband, those who download mail for viewing offline are decreasing in size :)

Regards
Huggie

See this for an example for HTMl mailer.

<A HREF="mailto:mailaddress@web.com">Send me an
email</A>

When you click on the above link, your default email client will be launched (if you've configured one). You'll notice that the Subject and Body fields of the email message are empty.

With mailto, you can include a default subject and body for your emails and make it look a little more professional. Not only that, you save your visitors some typing.

<A HREF="mailto:address@web.com?subject=Testing Mail&body=The Tips and Tricks section is
great">Send me an email</A>


Regards,
Joshi.
