Re: Email multiple files from web page

Would it be possible to provide a page where the clerk can check a box for
each PDF to be included, and have a text area where they can enter the order
details ? On submit the server creates the mail (including the text they
entered) and attaches the appropriate files.

Depends on how they're finding the correct PDF's right now. How many PDF's
are there in total ?

Still not exactly clear on this...

They add notes and comments about delivery and handling to the email
body as well as attaching the product information sheets (pdf
documents).

The process is:
- Clerk gets the paper shipping order from the warehouse floor
identifying what's being shipped
- Clerk uses intranet application to pull up product information
sheets (pdf documents) (we can't accurately determine this in advance
- don't ask). If it's a single product - which it is most of the time
- they hit "send page by email" in IE, fill in the information about
the order in the email body, address the message to the customer
contact on file and send it off.
- If there's more than one product, they have to locally assemble all
the product information sheets on their local drive, then open an
email and attach the sheets and then document the order information in
the email body. This is an akward and inconvenient process for them
as I'm sure you can well imagine.
- The paper shipping order is then put in the bundle that the drive
takes with them and the move on to the next order.
