ASP.NET Sharepoint user welcome email app



Before releasing the Sharepoint workspace that was subject of a recent post on customizing themes, I wanted to employ a similarly branded email piece to notify external users about the workspace and to provide login instructions.  I'm showing the workspace at left top as well as the ASP.NET email piece at bottom, not because they're works of art, by an means, but because I think a custom branded email function is a good idea for welcoming Sharepoint users to a new workspace. 

I also think that the functionality of dynamically generated HTML email is a very important one that I  personally use in a number of different contexts.  I wrote about adding one-click  comment delete functionality to dotText comment notifications, for instance.  On another application I've embedded ListServ commands to manage listserv subscriptions.  I've been wanting to blog about that but haven't yet gotten around to it.

HTML email simply rocks.

Where did you find the files where the email is sent.  We're looking to do the same thing... add login instructions for Win2000 and WinXP users as most of our users are new to AD logins.

Andrew, good to hear from you.  What the email app does is tie in to a front-end database which essentially holds metadata about the workspace; duplicate data, really.  The data is all in SQL.
