Hi Stuart,

Yes, I have, but I would state from the start, that in previous
incarnations of LO, it was not a happy experience :-/ I am not certain
that all of the problems have been ironed out in the latest versions of
LO (3.4.5 or the future 3.5).

AFAIK, using Writer to create the body of the message and then send is
still buggy. I seem to recall that it uses the XSimpleMail API of LO :

Perhaps the flags SimpleMailClientFlags are incorrectly set in your
version / configuration ?

There are also a few known bugs :
