I have an intranet page (ASP) and I want to put a link on the page so that users can attach a file to an email that they are creating.

At the moment the only way is to right click, save the file to the desktop and then drag it into the email. To make it easier for them, I would like to make a link that they could just click and drag into the email, or copy and paste. (When you copy and paste, it just copies a shortcut .url file, not the actual target file).

Does anyone have any idea how this could be done (client-side VB etc.). They can map to the file through a drive I:\documents\test.pdf, as well as through IIS http:\\server\documents\test.pdf, if that is any help.

I'd love some suggestions, even tentative ones.
