Re: Open local email client from web site
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
This is for an internal web site. Eventually, when I have more time, my
users will have to authenticate to the form using their AD account. I'll
then be able to use their logon name to generate their email address, have a
drop-down list to select a recipient, and use the web server to send an email
via smtp.
For now though, using an external client seems like the easiest thing to do.
