Default linking to pdf file in an e-newsletter

I am trying to link to a .pdf file that is saved on my computer in an
e-newsletter? When I send out the enewlsetter, the link does not work.

Megan,

You will need to put the pdf file on a server, i.e., a website or a server
location. If you don't have a website you may be able to create a location
on a server by creating a "personal website" using your e-mail account. You
won't actually need a website but you will need a location on the server
associated with your email account. Chat with your ISP folks on how to set
it up.

Here is a sample link to the file, Story_of_the_Peanut.pdf:

http://www.iinet.com/~osia1294/downl...the_Peanut.pdf

I use this method to provide a monthly report to family members. It can be
password protected if wanted.
