Monthly I have to send an e-mail with the same destination (recipient ?), subject, body and an attachment with the same filename (! not the same file !). I've made a shortcut for this e-mail with predefined recipient, subject and body, with the mailto-protocol and that works great. But how can I made a predefined attachment for this shortcut ?

Since you have not let us know which email client you are using, I will assume Outlook and provide the basics for that...

In Outlook 2000, setup the message as you normally would and include the attachments.

Go to File/Save As and put in the name for the template and then select Outlook File Template (*.oft).

Now, when you go to the new message button, select "choose form" and you can can select "User Templates in File System" and the new message will have all of what you saved including the attachment.

Do the same thing as in Outlook but save it as an *.eml file...after putting in the attachment and such.

Using Explorer, browse to it and double click the file to open it.

In Outlook Express, I don't have the possibility to select 'choose form' and also not 'user templates in file system' or something like this. When I double-click on the *.eml file I can retrieve the predefined message so that is a possibility, but the attachment is the original one and not the one who I have made later on. This file will be made monthly.

Switch to Outlook. Obviously you cannot do this with Express.

Have a good day! And good luck!
