I appreciate all the input. I kind of figured apart from RMAIL it would be quite a task. We do not have RMAIL so we either have to get it or stay with what we have.
I have been able to construct simple email bodies with the SELECT LISTOF function but that would not work with this.

Unless you know html to construct the code to write a detailed RMail email body, there isn't a "simple" way to get a nice designed RBase report to appear as the body of an email (if that is what you're asking). I mentioned that what I did was to print an RBase report to an .RTF file with "optimization ease_of_editing" and then launch it. It comes up in Word. The user is actually able to do a copy-all and paste it right into the email body within their email client. It comes out surprising good! But yeah, if you're just trying to get a simple list, I usually just create a text file that has whatever I need formatted how I want it, and then use RMail's "load from file" to include it as the email body Karen -----Original Message----- From: jan johansen <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: rbase-l <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Thu, May 12, 2016 3:35 pm Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - body contains information Jim, I'm with Buddy on this one. However, I would tell the production manager that it could be done but this method was chosen for archival purposes. Other wise, if the first two options are not available, you could try creating a NOTE variable, run a cursor through your multiple appending a <cr> to each line. Then use the NOTE as your email body.

Buddy From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]?>] On Behalf Of Jim Belisle Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 3:28 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [RBASE-L] - body contains information I create a pdf for certain items we order and send them to the production manager for viewing. He would like for the same information to come as part of the body of the email rather than as a pdf. Since we are talking multiple lines from within a table, what would be the best way to accomplish this goal?
