[RBASE-L] - RE: SEND DIRECT

[Jim Belisle]

Bill,

 

We did some testing and realized the Mapimail3.RBL brings the email
window up (not the Mapi dialog box) so you can add to the body or have
attachments. 

The Mapimail4.RBL goes directly to the customer and does not bring the
email window up so you can do those things.

 

I will have to just stay with the Mapimail3.RBL.

Thanks for the input.

Jim,

 

I believe the SENDDIRECT:True is only for MAPIMAIL.rbl. It's intention
is to bypass the MAPIMAIL dialog box. MAPIMAIL2,3,4 use the default
email client interface such as Outlook.

 

You might test this by sending an email with the setting both 'true' and
'false'

 

Hope that helps.

        I would like to verify the purpose of the vsenddirect TRUE
command.
        
        Is this so the attached PDF will not come to the screen before
sending?
        
        
        
        I ask because my sales people want the PDF to come to the screen
before
        sending so if they need to they can add attachments.
        
        If this is not the command I need to delete, what changes should
I make
        so the PDF comes up before they send it to our customer?
        
        Here is the code we use now.
