I have exactly the same question for Max 7.
We have documents Inserted into Max for each Address Book entry (sometimes Individuals, sometime Contacts). We sometimes need to send a copy of each document for a selected group of Address Book entries to a single email address. It seems backwards to have to open each document and save it to an external file before sending the entire group out as attachments.
Think of tracking certifications for each employee, and needing to send all copies of current certifications to a third party every year. You could keep the employees in the Address Book, and embed the certifications as documents for each appropriate Address Book entry. But emailing them as a group then becomes a pain.
I guess an alternative is to leave the documents as external files and simply Link to them rather than Insert them. That way doing the emailing is simply a matter of selecting the appropriate files from the external file system. But that raises all sorts of other risks.
Anyone have any opinions on the best way to go here?
