<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=325195502-17122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You seem to have conflicting requirements - do you want the
action to make the workflow resume or not? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=325195502-17122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Normally you would just create a normal work item, and use
Extended Notifications to send an equivalent email notification with an
execution hyperlink included. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=325195502-17122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>If you want the workflow to continue past your notification
step and wait at a future point in the workflow, then that sounds more like a
situation where your work item should sit in one path of a fork - so that other
functionality happens in parallel to your work item. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=325195502-17122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You can't use a send mail for this situation
effectively. And you can't bind objects to a send mail step to do what you
want.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

custom transaction where a user will make a decision that will resolve the
issue. That action will raise an event that the workflow is waiting for, causing
the workflow to resume.</FONT></P>
