Pray tell . . .

Hi Richmond,

I think it would be underhanded to use their email system to do that without 
warning them, but much less offensive to send reports via posting to a server, 
as long as you let them know your software will do that from time-to-time.

" When Livecode executes the *revMail* command, the user's email program is 
opened (*if necessary*) and a new email message with the specified parameters is 
created.
The user can change any of the settings before sending the message, and the 
message is *not sent automatically*: the user must explicitly send it (for 
example,
by clicking a "Mail" button in the email program)."

My colourisation.

Is there a way to:

1. prevent the end-user's email client opening?

2. send an email message automatically?

OK: let me be direct and open about this:

I want standalones sitting on machines of clients of mine to send me their MAC 
addresses and the type of operating system they are using.

3. Would I be an "underhand so-and-so" if I did this?

I am aware that many items of software "phone home".
