Ostendo uses its own Email application rather than utilising third party applications.
When emailing documents from Ostendo environments running an HTTPS protocol, an embedded link will be included in the email (rather than simply attaching a file). This means the recipient simply clicks on this link to open the file automatically via their browser allowing them to Print and/or download the PDF file. Emails could potentially contain multiple links. Any forms that have Linked Documents attached will also be embedded in the email as Links.
When emailing Reports, Forms and Linked Documents from Ostendo environments running an TCP/IP protocol, physical PDF files are attached to the email, no links are included.
The email signature is determined by the Signature selection, either User (default setting) or Site Signature.
