Description Michael Arick 2002-09-17 22:23:19 UTC
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!
