Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows?
I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to
drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have
found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works
under Unix by shelling out a mail command.
I've used R to call a perl script to handle the mailing; both the raw mail commands, plus the compression of attachments, mime encoding of plots or data files, etc. Haven't got it handy, but (being perl) it should be very platform independant doing things that way.
You could run the script either as a system() command, or possibly using the RSperl library from Omegahat (haven't used the latter - just speculating).
Check out the MIME::Parser and Mail::Sender perl modules.
Cheers
