Roedy's answer addressed the situation where the
internet _surfer_ wanted to send an email, but I read
your question differently.

I thought you wanted to know how to send email's
generated _by the server_ (perhaps to the aforementioned
surfer)

The two are rather different situations.
Could you clarify?

If that is what you want, that is much easier. Just use JavaMail. It
takes under a page of code to send off an email. Read the tutorials.
The docs are almost useless.

The PDF documents are on a local intranet server. So these can be shown on
screen and printed, but cannot be sent by e-mail. So, I was looking for an
"easy" solution to combine mailto: command - so that outlook opens - and
sort of automatic attachment of the respective pdf document, rather than
printing the document and sending it by regular mail.

Thanks for any help.

You can generate JavaMail messages with either URLs in the bodies to
the PDF or adding the PDFs at attachments.

Check into JavaMail. It is not that hard.
