Coppermine offers the ability for an end user to send a photo as an e-card.

My thoughts on this are:

option to enable/disable this
option to enable it only for authenticated users
e-card sends using SMTP details with the image embedded and a unique URL to view online
option to charge people to send the e-card - perhaps a base price with the option to override price on a per-album and per-photo basis
pay using Stripe (maybe PayPal?)

"e-card sends using SMTP details with the image embedded and a unique URL to view online"
Could it possibly be that the entire card is embedded into the email itself so that no one have to then link over to the card via another url? My thought is that if someone receives an email notifying them to link over to something else to see the card, they may feel it's scam and not follow the link.

Thank you!

Yes absolutely - that is what I meant.

The online link would be for the “can’t read this email? View it online” header at the top of my email, for older clients or on poor connections where the image/card may not have fully downloaded.
