Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Sending email with attachments

[Brian Johnson]

Wouldn't this goal require a ui for the user to attach files to the 
notification?
If so, would not a full editor to allow modification to the notification be 
preferred?

Maybe the calendar create entry screen could call up the email create email 
screen
with the recipients and default text pre-filled in.  That way any mods could be 
done
including attaching a file (or is that what the original question was?)
