[imp] Thinking about automatically attaching a file on compose

[Lukas Gradl]

Hi!

I'm still thinking about a possibility to automaticall attaching a file 
in compose-window, as this is a big showstopper for replacing 
desktop-clients by horde/imp.

Main reason why I would like to have that funcionality is, that another 
software running here tries to send printouts as PDF-files via Mail. So 
far they just call the MUA via MAPI (Windows) or mailto: (Linux) and the 
corresponding attachment= parameters.

Unfortunatly I don't have the php-knowledge to find really search for a 
good (and secure) solution to that problem.

So I'm a little bit guessing around. Perhaps one of the developers can 
take a look at my ideas and at least tell if it's worth thinking about?


So this is what I'm thinking about right now:
To develop a small desktop helper app (something I am able of and I am 
willing to do and contribute) that takes over the MAPI-call (Windows) 
and the mailto: Link (Linux), stores the file via some secure way on the 
horde server (perhaps on some storage horde can reach via a vfs 
backend?) and then calls imp via it's compose-link passing a reference 
to the file on horde vfs.

So the concrete question is: Is there a possibility or could that 
possibility be added to pass a file reference to a file already on the 
server to the imp compose window? Perhaps as part of the mailto link?
