Jim:
Have you used the "print" statement using "email on"? For that, you don't
need RMail. This only works
if you have an RBase report to print (you print it as a PDF file), and you get
to include a message. In
case you don't have the syntax, here's the basics. It does require you to
setup individual workstations to
enter email server information, or you embed the info right in the "print"
command.
PRINT Invoice WHERE blno =.vblno OPTION PDF | FILENAME
c:\temp\Invoice.pdf +
|OPEN OFF +
|email ON +
|email_to_list &vtoadd +
|email_from_name My Company- Boston Division +
|email_from_address &vfrom+
|Email_subject &vsubject +
|email_body &vames
If you embed server info, you add these:
|EMAIL_HOSTmail.yourmailserver.com +
|EMAIL_USERID johndoe +
|EMAIL_PASSWORD your_smtp_password +
|EMAIL_PORT 25 +

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.

We discussed this not too long ago on the list. 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

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.

I would use R:Mail for this.

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?
