I'm trying to determine the differences between the four mapimail plug ins
that have come at various times with R:Base.

MAPIMAIL.RBL appears to accept no parameters - just opens up a blank email
MAPIMAIL2.RBL and MAPIMAIL3.RBL appear to be identical - substituting one
for the other in the code below makes no difference that I can see - both
bring up the MAPI MAIL screen with any parameters included filled in.

(Code from a sample Razzak posted on the list July 2003):

CLEAR VAR vParameters, vQuote, vPipe, vTo, vSubject, vCc, +
vBcc, vBody, vAttachments

SET VAR vParameters TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vQuote TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vDummy TEXT = 'vDummy'
SET VAR vPipe TEXT = '|'
SET VAR vTo TEXT = 'To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
SET VAR vSubject TEXT = 'Subject:Sending MAPI Mail'
SET VAR vCc TEXT = 'Cc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
SET VAR vBcc TEXT = 'Bcc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
SET VAR vBody TEXT = 'Body:Now you can also use this cool +
     feature of R:BASE 7.0 for Windows'
SET VAR vAttachments TEXT = +
'Attachments:C:\RBTI\RBG7\Samples\RBASE.DAT;C:\RBTI\RBG7\Samples\GlobalVARS.
RMD'

SET VAR vParameters = +
(.vQuote+.vDummy&.vPipe+.vTo&.vPipe+.vSubject&.vPipe+.vCc&.vPipe+.vBcc&.vPip
e+.vBody
+
&.vPipe+.vAttachments+.vQuote)

CLS
PLUGIN MAPIMAIL2.RBL &vParameters

MAPIMAIL4.RBL appears to attempt to send the email automatically without
letting the user change anything.

Is there a comprehensive document outlining the differences between these
and how to use them? I didn't see anything on From the Edge
