Is there a way to have an R program send an email?

No. There have been proposals to do this, but it is highly OS-specific, and also likely to hit security issues.


You could take a look at what bug.report() does (which is nothing on some platforms).

Something like this:

address <- '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
text <- 'This is the email body'
send.email(address, text)
