Share Both Text and File

Question

In metro apps, is it possible to share a file (or attachment), with email subject(or title) and/or email body? (If possible, how?) Thanks.

Answer 1

Sharing doesn't imply e-mail. The user may choose to share the data to any available target. This could be email, a social network, a scrapbook app, etc.

The different data formats provided are supposed to be different views of the same data, not different data. How exactly a share target interprets the shared data is up to it, but typically they will use the most relevant format for the target.

See Choosing data formats for sharing .

Answer 2

So, is it possible to offer the Mail app (or any other app invoked during share) both an attachment and text?

Answer 3

You can provide the same data in multiple types: files, pictures, text, etc. The share target will generally pick one of those.

Additionally, you can include a description.
