You can select and send text from a text document as an attachment using your configured third-party email program.

OnBase External Mail Services respects restrictions set by third-party email systems (such as file attachment size limits). This may result in a situation where the user is presented with the OnBase Mail Message dialog box instead of the email program's native dialog box. For more information on how to use the OnBase Mail Message dialog box, see Using the OnBase Mail Message Dialog Box.

Note:

If you are using Novell GroupWise, the OnBase Mail Message dialog box is always displayed. The GroupWise native email dialog box is not available when using External Mail Services to send email.
