SendMail()

Summary

Initiates a mail program and composes an e-mail with a window as a file attachment.

Changes

Added dialog option in Version 6.0/2012.

Syntax

SendMail(array options)

Notes

• The mail program must be initialized in the MAPI section of the win.ini file.

• A missing option means that part of the e-mail is blank. Even if there are no options, calling SendMail() will launch your mail program.

• An element in the array for the to or cc option can either be a stringcontaining an e-mail address, or an array containing two strings, an e-mail address and a display name for that e-mail address. Some e-mail programs require a display name.

• The window must be a map window. It is sent as a .map file. The recipients will need to have the files referred to in the .map file.

• Use the dialog option to send a message from a script without it being displayed first.

Example

opts = {}
opts.to = {"info@caliper.com"}
opts.cc = {"sales@caliper.com", {"support@caliper.com", "Tech Support"}}
opts.subject = GetMap()
opts.body = "Here is the latest version of the map. Any comments?"
opts.attach = "Map|" + GetMap()
opts.dialog = "False"
SendMail(opts)
