Sending the invoice via email instead of mailing.

Hello: Many of our orders are dropshipments. In these cases we end up printing the invoice and then mailing it to the

customer. Of course this causes us to waste time printing, stuffing and mailing the invoice. As well as incurring the

postage expense.

What we would like to do instead, is to email the invoice to the customer.

As for the format of the email. The invoice could either be:

1. Contained within the body of the invoice as html
2. Attached to the email as a pdf file.

Ideally we would be able to run the creation and sending of the invoice during MOM order processing.

Is anyone doing this yet and if so, how did you set it up?

I've already read a previous thread concerning this,

We would like to know of anyones experience doing this.

Some issues we see when doing this:

1. The ability of the customer to receive an email.
2. The ability of the customer to open/view a PDF if the PDF format was used.
3. Customers wanting a paper invoice sent to them.

Note we have Report Writer and are running MOM 5.4

Thanks
