Or if you have the order acknowledgment set up as a report already, just print the report as a pdf and use the EMAIL ON option. You need to put in all your email settings (user, password, smtp server, etc.). I think Razzak has it all covered in his 'all about the print command' article.....or look under EMAIL in the help file.
This works well if you're processing one at a time. If you're doing many at once, RMail is a better choice and is sooo worth it.
