    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Attachments to pages are not attached to notifications from Confluence. This means any embedded images in the page cannot be seen from offline email clients.

      The "Email Page" feature, which ships with Confluence as a disabled bundled plugin, also does not send page attachments with the email. The UI does not mention this. Ideally it would allow users to choose which attachments are sent.

      From Mark DeSimone's post on the Confluence Forum:

      We have a lot of users who travel and do work offline. So, they need to have the wiki pages and any relevant attachments in an email so when they get on the plane or train, they can work on the issue. The problem we are having is:

      When a page is emailed, either from a watch or emailing it from tools, we need to have it include attachments

      Are there any solutions? If not, what are some ways around it? Right now I am having trouble with adoption because everyone still likes to use Office documents and email, even if it gets a little crazy.

            This will be very helpful. We have the same issue in our organisation and Sales people are not using Confluence for this very reason.

            It would indeed be very help full if you can send attachments from within confluence via mail, this is one of the reasons confluence is not used in our office (we store latest versions of manuals/flyers/...) but because you need to download the attachments before sending, everybody keeps local copies, what we don't want off course...

            Is there a plugin available for this? Found the sslpost, but that's not what is needed, we just want to email the attachments... not needed to be secure

            It could be helpful to optionally email one or more attachments independently of the page content.

            A year ago I updated this issue on the basis that CONF-1602 "Attachments should be included in daily emails" already covered part of it. I've since realised that I misunderstood what CONF-1602 was about and have updated both issues for clarity. They're actually not very related at all.

            Note: As somebody who reads Confluence notifications on the train on an ipod touch, I must say I really want to implement this.

            An earlier request for attachments in notifications already exists: CONF-1602.
            I'm going to change CONF-14887 to be just about the "email page" function.
