Create a Filelink Provider for Thunderbird and other compatible mail clients.

[mpathy]

Its a good idea not to include very large mail attachment to your mail, because its slow and mostly there is a file size restriction on the servers.

Thunderbird (and maybe soon other mail clients) support the FileLink feature, where the files attached to the mail are not send inside the mail but over a provider supporting it, like Dropbox, Ubuntu One and so on.

It seems that it can be supported with a JS and a HTML file..

@mpathy "and other compatible mail clients" are there any actually?

It was introduced as a possible standard, but as I read right now, it seems that still only Thunderbird uses it - so, the answer today is no.
