sending emails to vendors when paying invoices directly

We have been paying more and more vendors using online banking instead of issuing physical cheques.  This works well except that the vendor no longer receives a cheque stub with the details as to which invoices we are paying.

What I have been doing is printing the payment records from print forms to pdf, saving it to the hard drive and then emailing each vendor individually with the form attached.  This is tedious as under print forms you can only select one at a time otherwise you get one document with multiple payment records for mutliple vendors.  And then we have to create a separate email with their own form attached which can only be done manually.

Is there not a way that we could send emails directly from QuickBooks (desktop)?  Similar to sending invoices to customers.  If we could mark each payment with a "send email" indicator and then run a batch at the end of the day this would reduce the workload significantly.

Thanks for your help
