Hi
I'm a bit late on this one, and not much help to Peter I think.
But if like me, anyone has to send e-mail from 2.2.5, it's possible
to use the "mailto:" protocol (as used in html) in a shell command on
Windows. This won't send the message, but it will open the user's
e-mailer with address and subject fields (and perhaps the body)
filled out.
You need to build a string like this:
start mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject="my results"?body="Hello everyone"
Put it in a varibale (e.g. tCom) and then use the shell function:
get shell(quote & tCom & quote)
I've read the whole string may be limited to 256 characters in some
e-mailers so getting the body filled out may not always work.
It won't answer all needs, but it may help in some situations.
Enjoy the weekend!
