Thanks to everyone that responded on this subject -- 4 responses with 4 separate solutions to the problem! Thanks especially to Gabor Grothendieck for introducing me to "blat", the freeware emailer executable which was the solution I implemented in the end, as it avoided problems caused by Outlook's security features getting in the way (my COM instance of Outlook got very paranoid when R tried to send mails and kept popping up with warning messages which meant I could not really use this non-interactively).
Anyway, thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: David Khabie-Zeitoune Sent: 29 July 2003 16:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] Sending emails from R under Windows Hi 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.
