As an update For ETKA 7 users, the tutorial can be found here:

http://z13.invisionfree.com/OneTrueKeyboard/index.php?showtopic=66

Within that tutorial, you'll find a link to pdfcreator:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

pdfcreator sets up as an additional printer and any windows program
(ETKA 7 included) can use it.  You just select Print in ETKA, then
choose the pdfcreator as the printer and it saves a .pdf document to
your hard drive.  Then when you send an email, select Attach ... and
select the saved .pdf doc.

Updates to ETKA 7 (598~623) can be found here:
