Thanks Jan - I tried the quotes:
PLUGINS RMail 'v1|LOAD_MESSAGE_BODY_FROM_FILE newsltr1406em.txt'

but they didn't help. The non-quoted version was the syntax in the RMail PDF:
PLUGIN RMail 'v1|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY '
PLUGIN RMail v1|LOAD_MESSAGE_BODY_FROM_FILE MonthlyInventory.htm
PLUGIN RMail 'v1|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY '
weird.

The custom text was dues status - paid or not. I'll probably put that in the txt file and email in two runs - those who've paid and those who haven't. Occam's razor.

Thanks again,
Doug

Doug,
Let me try but you are doing something I haven't tried with R:Mail.
This statement
PLUGINS RMail v1|LOAD_MESSAGE_BODY_FROM_FILE newsltr1406em.txt
is missing the quotes.
On the Rstyle I think you are ok. The RBM's have updated to be a bit smarter
and backward compatible.
Lastly you may have to build the command and then use an &variable.

    Subject: [RBASE-L] - RMail 9.5 questions

    Hi All - I'm trying to get a newsletter emailed using 9.5-32
    (30522) and
    RMail95 and have a few questions.

    The message type is text:  PLUGINS RMail v1|MESSAGE_TYPE text

    1) Is it possible to have both |ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY and
    |LOAD_MESSAGE_BODY_FROM_FILE in the same email?
    The message is custom text per recipient and the file is a text
    version
    of a newsletter.

    For simple testing, SET VAR vBody TEXT = 'v1|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY
    This is
    text'

    If I send only vBody, it comes through.

    But when when I try this:
    PLUGINS RMail .vBody
    PLUGINS RMail 'v1|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY '
    PLUGINS RMail v1|LOAD_MESSAGE_BODY_FROM_FILE newsltr1406em.txt
    PLUGINS RMail 'v1|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY '

    I only get the file.  Is it possible to have both the text and a
    file?
    Am I using the wrong parameters?

    2) Only the ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY parameter has single quotes around
    it.
    Is this correct?

    2) The examples in the RMail95.PDF show PLUGIN RMail  but RStyle
    changes
    them to PLUGINS RMail.
    Is that ok?  It seems to work.

    TIA
    Doug
