How reporting quiz results by email - Captivate 8?

More information...

...about sending results via email?

I don't know offhand, but there are essentially two approaches:

1. Figure out how to do a 'mailto:' link that passes the information you need (i.e. scores, etc) to the user's email client.

Problem A: Users HAVE to have an email client installed, like Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.

Problem B: Users will see that email content, be able to edit it, and will have to manually click 'Send'.

2. Setup a mailer program on a webserver that your Captivate project can 'POST' that data to.

Problem A: You need a webserver, a mailer program, and a page that will receive the POSTed data (i.e. PHP, JSP, ASP, .NET)

Problem B: You'll need some sort of security around that mailer script or spammers will surely find it and use it to send out their own spammy stuff.

Do you REALLY need to send via email?

May be better to do an Internal Server...
