GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 230501
I'd like to have attachments stored on a WebDAV server when I send mail

Description of Problem: When I send someone e-mail with attachments (photos and the like) I'd like to automatically put them on a WebDAV server (like http://www.sharemation.com) instead of just attaching them to the message, since that can be a pain for the recipient to deal with. Basically, the steps would be: 0)configure your WebDAV server's attachment directory. ( http://www.sharemation.com/~michaelarick/attachments, username michaelarick, password=***********) 1)Make connection to WebDAV server with GnomeVFS. 2)Put the files on the server in a directory named in some useful way (I'd use date and time of delivery as the directory, file names as the files. In other words, http://www.sharemation.com/~michaelarick/attachemtns/20020915-103345) 3)Set-up the ACLs so the recipient can read the files (this is non-trivial, I know) or create a ticket (easier, but still non-trivial) to access the files read-only 4)Write the URLs into the e-mail message's body. 5)Send the message. Just a pie-in-the-sky idea, I know, but it would be pretty cool if you ask me!
