Can you please guide me as to how an attachment can be sent as a URL in a mail instead of directly attaching the file to the mail???

If I understand you right, if you want to send a file of some sort in email, you would like to send a link to its location on your machine?

Why would you want to do such a thing? I think that would open you up to attacks. It seems you would have to set up your machine as a server(bad idea to do this to your PC, IMO). Remember, emails are not encrypted by default, anyone could get that link. You can buy cheap server access from 1&1 or someone like it, and upload files, then send links. But why bother? It is easier just to attach the file.

Have you tried the simple method of putting the URL into the body of the message as plain text?
