I am a photographer and I have a personalised email that I send to the clients when I deliver the photos. In that email there are the gallery links, and also a password to access them.
I would like, if I could find a way, to copy that password in the clipboard.
I was thinking maybe put a link on my website, set the password as an URL parameter, then intercept it in a new page, copy in clipboard and close that page, if possible.
How does that sound to you and how can I do it? :D

I have web application to send email from OneDrive location. I have obtained a user consent and access token from Ms Live site. I am trying to implement process where user clicks on 'browse' button, they should see list of files which are in onedrive. User selects file from there and clicks on 'Send Email' button in web page which should invoke the downloading of selected file silently and send that to email address provided by user.
At the moment onedrive sends download link to get file content. Does anyone knows how to get file content in bytes using REST API as I don't want the user to download the file in their local machine. Please help!
It sounds like you plan on sending the selected OneDrive file as an attachment in email (right?). This could be tricky if you don't want the file to be downloaded locally.
Maybe you could consider sending a link to the selected OneDrive file in the email instead. This way, the email recipient will be able to download the file directly from the sender's OneDrive.
I am working on a web apps with Asp.Net (C#) and I have a problem like this:
I will sent out an email for more than one person and there is a link in the email. If user click on the link I want to retrieve the email address of the respondent (as query string or whatever).
Is it possible?
How should I do?
Thanks in advance.
If you generate the emails dynamically, you can add a token to the url that is unique to each email address you send to. Your landing page will use the tokens to register a hit to a database.
On another note, please remember to handle information like email addresses with great care (i.e. securely), for example when storing them in a database.
I have this app which has an e-mail feature. When the e-mail window appears theres a recipient, subject and template text that asks for a few numbers and a name to be filled in to the gaps.
However I would like to approach this in a slightly better way. For example I would like a text box and a few drop down boxes in a view with a "Submit" button that, when pressed, would send an e-mail in the same format as above, but the required data would be filled in from the data the user has inputted via the drop-down menu/text box instead of having the user enter the information directly into an e-mail.
First of all, does Apple like this? I've heard they are not fans of sending e-mail in this way. (In the background).
Secondly, if Apple would approve of this, how would one go about implementing such a feature?
Thanks,
Jack
I can't speak to the policy issue, but there's no way for you to send a mail from the device (ie from the user's account) yourself without their UI.
If you want to accomplish this, you'll need your own server somewhere that you post the email messages to, and send on the back end from your own email account. This is probably not what you're after, but it would work.
If all you want to do is prepopulate some data in the email message, you can certainly give the user your picker controls, let them set it up, and then pop open the mail composer UI with all the message body pre-cooked. They'll still have to press "Send", but you can own the UI up until that point.
I am new to website designing and wanted to know couple of things.
when some clicks on the link on my website say www.google.com, can i trace that how many people clicked on it.
When i send out emails with attachments, can i record how many people opened those attachements. btw this is not yahoo or gmail, its my personal email with an ISP.
if so, please put references so i can read them or explanation if possible
Create the links on your website so that they do a GET to your website first, and then redirect to the desired website.

The email attachment is a different problem. If you send an email that reads the attachment from your website, you can record the traffic.
For tracking outbound clicks, services like Google Analytics can wrap every link on your site with JavaScript and provide statistics and sexy graphs.
For tracking email attachments, it depends on the attachment. Static files like images can't make callbacks to the Internet, but something like a PDF with embedded JavaScript might be able to.
As for links within the emails, you can make each link in each email unique by associating a token with each email recipient, e.g. Some Link. Store the token in a database along with the recipient's email address and later you can cross-reference hits on your site with emails you sent out.
I know there are a handful services that do the latter, but I can't name any offhand. Search for "email newsletter service."
Does anyone have a reason / preference as to the best format to send email responses from a website (payment confirmation / password reminder’s etc)?
Thanks

In your emails, use plaintext with links to your HTML pages. HTML in email is generally widely reviled as a bad idea, because it's a gigantic security hole.
Never send passwords in email, even as a reminder. Send a link to the user's registered email address that allows them to reset their password. The absolute fastest way to make me quit using your service is to send me my password via email in plaintext.
plain text. No html.
Formatted plain text, please. The system my office uses currently, I had nothing to do with designing it, sends customers a formatted plain text email that looks professional, loads quite quickly in email clients, and it prints just as it looks on the screen. Not only is HTML a security hole, it can really slow down the email downloading/opening process depending on how much extraneous content is included (background colors, images, etc.). In addition, plain text is almost guaranteed to print out as displayed on the screen whereas HTML can have issues.
For passwords, as McWafflestix said, don't send passwords to email addresses. One approach to addressing the forgotten password is to create a module on your website that sends users an email with a link confirming they forget and need to reset their password and then have them answer a secret question they created. Once the identity is confirmed, send them an email with the new temporary password with a link to log in--once they click the link and enter the temporary password, have the user enter a new personal password.
