Hello,

The above is the local path for accessing a file on a server's already mounted share point.

In this case, when converted into a posix path:

	/Volumes/Clients/C/CNP/CNP 3028 congrès alumni-sponsoring cto/CNP 3028-003 Programme/CNP Programme v4.indd

the URL seems to indicate that some server makes volume "Clients" available, that you've already mounted that volume on your machine, and that the interesting file is "CNP Programme v4.indd" located in folder "CNP 3028-003 Programme" of folder "CNP 3028 congrès alumni-sponsoring cto" of folder "CNP" of folder "C" of that volume.

You need to tell people which server to access, how to access it, which volume is to be mounted from that server, and what path to follow on that volume.

Assuming you have an AFP server with bonjour name "monserveur.local", that info could be provided with:

	afp://monserveur.local/Clients/C/CNP/CNP 3028 congrès alumni-sponsoring cto/CNP 3028-003 Programme/CNP Programme v4.indd

On the message's recipient side, Mail should be able to recognize the above as a URL, to display it as a clickable link, and to be kind enough to ask the Finder to do the job should the link be clicked.


HTH,
Axel
