What's the problem, please? Let's look at mailsend.r (I just hope it's file you are
talking about :-):
REBOL [
Title: "Email Message Sender"
File: %mailsend.r
Date: 10-Sep-1999
Purpose: {A very simple way to send an email.}
Note: {
The TRIM function below is used to remove the blank
lines from the head of the email, so that the first
line of text gets used as the subject.
}
]
send [EMAIL PROTECTED] trim {
Hi there.
Just wanted to send you an email message from REBOL.
-Friend
}
Trim removes the spaces from the head and tail of the string.
Let's also see, what help send tells us:
->> help send
Send a message to an address (or block of addresses)
Arguments:
address -- An address or block of addresses (email block)
message -- Text of message. First line is subject.
Refinements:
/only -- Send only one message to multiple addresses
/header -- Supply your own custom header
header-obj -- The header to use (object)
Do you see "message" description? First line is subject. IIRC if newline char is not
found "^/" first 50 chars are used as a subject. You can also
look at 'send source, by directly typing in the console:
->> source send
Or just look at the manual: http://www.rebol.com/manual/netsmtp.html
