I recently switched from using Microsoft Excel & Outlook to OO &

in a spreadsheet and I have just finished porting the MS Basic to
OOBasic.
Are there any plans to support a function in the XSimpleMailMessage
interface like
XSimpleMailMessage.setBody()
This will allow OOBasic programs to create plain text emails as opposed
to emails with file attachments (via the setAttachement() API). This is
one of the gaps between the Microsoft platform and OO/Thunderbird
platform.
There are some snippets of code that theorize about using those functions.
But it really hasn't pick up since well you still need a server like
sendmail or postfix on your system.
Another option is use scripts like the following in python to send email,
not sure if it will work with the Python 2.3 that OOo includes:

Specially the email package, smtplib seems to work fine.
