[REBOL] Emails with Attachments
From: ctaredu::crosswinds::net at: 12-May-2001 13:56
how are y'all doin'?
the requirement was of sending email to multiple recipients, individually
addressed.
the simple line taken from rebolcore-13.html, from the subsection titled
Multiple Recipients
send [
[luke--rebol--com][ben--example--com]] message
does the job pretty well.
now, the boss wanted attachments.. so i got the script from
http://www.rebol.org/email/attach.htmland added a few lines to the end like
this:
emails: [
[guy1--abc--com]
[gal1--xyz--com]
]
header: make system/standard/email [
from: "Hooded Claw <hoodedc @ pqr.com >"
Subject: "FIY : update"
organization: "asdf"
]
foreach email emails [
header/to: email
mail read %first.txt header [%attached.doc %attached2.doc]
]
this sends the attachments as required, but now it is working one mail at a
time.. so if there are several recipients, the mail is sent to each one, one
by one... i hope you guys are still with me.
i was just wondering if i have missed something here.. and if there is a way
to send mails, with attachments, the simple way.
This would now be simply an academic exercise... because my boss just told
me that he wants each email to carry customised salutation .. like Dear
John, and Dear Mary... This definately means individual emails.
BTW.. I managed to write the required scripts in Rebol.. in 3 hours (from
DOWNLOAD to successful emailing)... of course.. a lot of this is plug and
play type stuff... and i dont really understand the mechanisms.. but i think
rebol is cool.
have fun guys
