Hi Charles,

I had almost everything right.
I was missing a cr between tCc and tBcc.  Oops.

Everything is working great now!

Thanks!!!

Life Is Too Short For Boring Code

this might is a relic from  times before tsNET.  When i started with tsNet i 
modified existing code and maybe i kept this "bad" behaviour. ;)

I used this only for inhouse status and alert emails for up to 5 recipients and 
never ran into a problem.

But i will keep it in mind for future use.

Re: tsNet mail message not formatting

[Charles Warwick via use-livecode]

Hi Rick,

What code did you try to add the Bcc e-mail recipients?

The tRecipient variable to the tsNetSmtpSync command needs to be one e-mail 
address per line of all the recipients for the e-mail (To, Cc and Bcc) and that 
is what is used to determine who the e-mail is sent to.

The rest of that script (in the lesson) is about how to format the e-mail 
message, Bcc addresses don't get added to the header of the e-mail message.

So assuming your Bcc's addresses are stored in a variable called tBcc (one per 
line), then you need to simply adjust the script (from the lesson) as follows:

-- Make tRecipient a list of all recipients (To, Cc and Bcc)
put tTo & cr & tCc & cr & tBcc into tRecipient 

put tsNetSmtpSync(tUrl, tFrom, tRecipient, tEmailMessage, tResponseHeaders, 
tBytes, tSettings) into tResult

Regards,

Charles

Hi Matthias,

I would not recommend sending e-mail this way.  It will create a new SMTP 
connection and send the e-mail message separately for every single recipient.

SMTP connections (and tsNetSMTP* commands) are designed to handle multiple 
recipients for one e-mail within a single SMTP transfer.

Charles

Rick,

let's say

pTO contains one or more email recipients, each in one line
pCC contains one or mor  cc recipients, each in one line
pBCC contains one or more bcc recipients, each in one line
tData contains the mime encoded message which includes all To and all CC 
recipients

then you would do


repeat for each line tLine in pTO
  put tsNetSmtpSync(tServer, tFrom, tLine, tData, rOutHeaders, rBytes, 
tSettings)
end repeat

repeat for each line tLine in pCC
  put tsNetSmtpSync(tServer, tFrom, tLine, tData, rOutHeaders, rBytes,

end repeat

repeat for each line tLine in pBCC
  put tsNetSmtpSync(tServer, tFrom, tLine, tData, rOutHeaders, rBytes, 
tSettings)
end repeat

The last repeat sends to the BCC recipients.

It may be that Konica believes all computers run Windows. Silly as it 
sounds, I've seen that from some manufacturers.


When writing a file from LC in text mode, line endings are altered.

Originally, the way in which they were altered was to create a text file 
that played nice with other programs on the host OS.


Internally, LC uses the Unix convention for line endings, LF (made 
confusing by allowing CR to also be used for the same internal line ending).


When writing to a file in text mode, what line endings are converted to 
varies by what's most common on that platform:


Linux: LF is preserved as-is

Windows: LF becomes CRLF

macOS: LF becomes CR

The problem is that macOS (v10 and later) is a Unix, unlike MacOS (v9 
and earlier) which was its own trippy little island unto itself.


Unix (including macOS) most commonly uses LF for line endings, but when 
LC writes out in text mode on macOS it still uses the older MacOS line 
ending, CR.


None of this is made any clearer by Apple's decision to use MacOS to 
denote OS 9 and earler, and macOS for 10 and later. :)

Wrong, but at least consistently so. ;)

As a dialect of HyperTalk, LC maintains the "CR = ASCII 13" rule because 
way back in '87 when HC was born that was what it was.


When macOS became a Unix around the turn of the century of course that 
changed, and these days most Mac software use LF for line endings, 
consistent with both Unix and Linux.


And with that we find ourselves stuck in a world of having to explain to 
every new user that CR isn't really CR but LF, until you write it to a 
file when it gets transformed into a CR that no one uses anymore.


If this were Python the solution would be simple enough: make it current 
in the engine and "just" require everyone to rewrite their code if they 
want to upgrade. :)


But we like that LC is among the few languages that prioritizes backward 
compatibility.


Most of the time.

This one is such a weird outdated anomaly that I almost wouldn't mind 
the pain of revising my code if it meant never having that awkward 
conversation with once-eager newcomers ever again.


But that can be resolved another way: focusing on remarketing to 
existing customers rather than marketing to grow the platform among new 
customers minimizes any need to explain the past to new users.

Re: tsNet mail message not formatting

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

If you want to be the most accurate (clear for others reading code) you would 
use the LF constant instead of CR since that is how it actually evaluates.  The 
only way to generate an actual CR within code is to use CRLF (which gets both) 
or use numtobyte(13).

If you export as text, then you get what is expected on Win/Linux and get CR on 
Mac (which is wrong in my opinion).

Re: tsNet mail message not formatting

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

You have to do this:

replace cr with crlf in tBody

Personal Btw: I find that using ‘return’ results in ugly code as a personal
preference, so I avoid that and use cr. it’s just that the script renderer
shows ‘return’ in yellow for it’s command equivalent because they still
haven’t coded the editor to work out if you are using it as the command or
the keyword.

All the best.

Re: tsNet mail message not formatting

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Tried this script here on macOS

put "this is line 1" &"this is line 2" into tBody

put "xx" into tFrom

put "xxx...@me.com" into tTo

put "Email test" into tSubject

put "" into tSettings["username"]

put "" into tSettings["password"]

put TRUE into tSettings["NO_REUSE"]

put "smtp://xxx.xxx.Xxx.xxx" into tServer

mimeEncodeAsMIMEEmail tBody,tFrom,tTo,"",tSubject

put it into tData

put tsNetSmtpSync(tServer, tFrom, tTo, tData, rOutHeaders, rBytes, tSettings)


The email body is showing 2 lines in Apple Mail as expected.

Could you show your code, at least the coder which you are using to fill/create 
the message (smtp header and body)?

RE: tsNet mail message not formatting

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

There are 2 things(at least) that I can't believe in 2021 have
standards.
1) Fonts and their names/faces
2) Carriage returns/new lines/line feed


In LC(on windows) both cr and lf have a chartonum value of 10

Try a numtochar(13) or numtochar(13)(10)

I want to send a message that has multiple lines.
I have tried inserting cr and return and nothing works so far. The message
ends up on a same line.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Rick
