Hi All,
I am using Notification Services 2005.I have done with the configuration and deployment of Notification Services 2005.Now i wanted to know how to send notifications via email with custom attachments.
Please help me out in this issue.

Hi Amby -[copied for a reply to your newsgroup posting]
The built-in SMTP delivery protocol doesn't support attachments. But
you do have a couple of options:
1) you can build a custom delivery protocol that uses SMTP to send
notifications with attachments. I don't have Shyam Pather's SQLNS book
in front of me at the moment, but I think he goes through a similar
example in it. It's for v2.0, not 2005, but the same concepts should
apply.
2) I've also sent notifications via SMTP that have a link to a
resource that they need rather than including it as an attachment. For
example, rather than attaching a PDF, I place the PDF on a web site
and then send a link to the PDF in the notification. This has worked
well for me.
HTH....
