Hi Udaya,
You can test this idea. You need to create an html file with the following code, save this as "test-email.html":
<html>
<a href="mailto:
JohnDoe@youremail.com?subject=Important_report" >Send Email</a>
</html>
Open "test-email.html" from the location where you saved this file. It will be opened in your default browser. Just click on the "Send Email" link and see what is happening.
Best regards,

Hi Udaya,
Well, yes unless you have access to a shared mailbox! For instance, if you have access to a shared mailbox called 'SalesTeam@youremail.com', you will be able to send message from this email address.
Note: this is not related to Cognos Analytics in this case.
Best regards,

Hi Udaya,
You might create an HTML item in your report with the following report expression:
'<a href="mailto:'+[Query1].[Email]+'?subject=' + ReportName () + '">Send Email</a>'
It will look like:
In this example, [Query1].[Email] value is:
'JohnDoe@youremail.com' but it could be 'SalesTeam@youremail.com'
and ReportName () will display your reportname.
Best regards,

Hello All,
Is there a way I can initiate an email to a team member notifying of any question on the data of the report.
Share button will not work with my requirement as the email from: is automatically configured to my ID rather than a generic ID. The receiver should not be able to start a communication. It will be just to notify.
Thank you,
Udaya.
