Sending Shortcuts and Links

The Connector for cc:Mail does not fully support links to files, shortcuts to Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and shortcuts to Microsoft Exchange public folders.

Shortcuts to URLs are created in a Web browser and copied to the Microsoft Exchange message body.

The following table describes how shortcuts and links are sent.
