Dick Have you tried using RMail. I send out things like this everyday using RMail.

I will send CASH. (amount negotiable) Now that I have your attention... I have been trying for eons to automate a simple email of order acknowledgement or invoices. We use outlook express, but I would be willing to change that for something that works. (tried thunderbird, no luck) When run from the R:prompt, the code below, (from Razzak's earlier e-mail) seems to work... however The email does not actually send, it just sets in the OE outbox. It does not seem to matter where OE is open or not, It only sends when you close OE Rbase continues to operate correctly, but on closing gives you a ' Rbase has encountered a problem & needs to close' message. I just need this to work seamlessly in the background without hang-up or errors. I have done everything I know to do. This can't be that hard. Suggest you substitute you email address for verification How bored are you?
