Is there a way in WSS 3.0 to send an email notification when a list attachment is downloaded or when a document in a document library is downloaded?
Thx

A:
The event listeners you can attach to list items in WSS only apply to add, update and delete events.
You'd have to map an HTTPHandler to the URL of the list/library storing the content.
This handler would be responsible for sending notifications when it's detected that a client is making a request for an attachment or document.

Thanks for the quick reply. I won't be implementing this for a while, just getting a feel for it, so I can mark as answered later if it works out. My last requirement is to get the user who is downloading it, that should be doable in the handler as well you think? Thx

You can definately get the current user, you'll just need to make sure that you make a reference to the Microsoft.Sharepoint dll, and use the static property: SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser
