if I put a file named test.txt in a directory or location...I want to send an email through my Outlook Express with attachment test.txt automatically. Can it be done? Any idea? Where can I get these example?

I'd be 99.9% sure it can't be done with Outlook Express.
I'd be 100% sure it could be done with PHP.

Well, let me put it another way. I don't know how to do it and I don't think it can be done with Outlook Express. Why not use PHP?

you could build a form on a site that has a mailer script attached to it. When you submit the form, into which you have put email address and message, it can then build the email and attach your file and send it.

Hi yllai,

Here's a tutorial on mail() and how to send a file as an attachment.

With a few modifications you should be able to do what you want.
