Default Automatic Email Reply with Attachment

Here is my problem:

Our department had daily reports that we ran everyday and sent through
the email, now because the reports have grown over time with
enhancements and tracking more data they are too big to distribute
everyday so we moved to posting them on the company intranet. The
challenge faced now is that some of our employees travel often and dont

have access to the intranet therefore require the reports emailed to
them.


Is there anyway we could set up an email that is sent to a distribution

that includes a link that when the recepient clicks the link it will
trigger a reply email with the attachment, the files are always named
the same thing and are in the same directory.


Any ideas for a solution?


Thanks in advance for your help.

The best way to implement this is to develop a COM Add-In that can be
installed on each PC that will create a custom toolbar button that could
automatically reply to the e-mail and insert the appropriate attachment.

You can do the same thing with macros, but those are difficult to deploy
correctly.
