Default emailing ofs

Would like to know if it is reasonable to email a ofs file. Have tried but with no success

This is my program configuration using VS 2008 office 2007 vs.net

1. Created a Form region (ofs) from within outlook

2. Created a outlook form region in VS 2008 using the ofs

3. FormRegionType property used was ReplaceAll

4. Created a Ribbon (Visual Designer) with a button that brings up the form region in outlook

5. Have included a button on the form region that sends the email

6. This does send the email but have been unable to figure how to include the region in the email



Thanks

barry

Default emailing ofs

The recipients would have to have the same custom message class published
and have the same OFS available and have the form region registered in the
recipients registries. The emails would also have to be sent out using RTF
format so the message information is sent out using the TNEF wrapper
(winmail.dat) that's only understood by Outlook and the TNEF wrapper must be
preserved throughout the transmission process.

It can be done but the pitfalls and potential failure points along the way
make it rather impractical and unreliable.
