Thank you, I'll try that. 
But not really user friendly. I'm managing documents for my non profit association and I have 30 people. So I need to ask to all of them to add the email in their contact but they are not all efficient with their computer.

    That's weird because we are using Gmail and even this well-known mailing box, it is not working. 
    Nevertheless, thank you for your help.
