Email Attachments

 [1/11] from: mechtn:tkweb at: 11-Oct-2001 16:11


Hi, I just came across rebol not too long ago and have been playing with it ever since. I am a consultant wanting to design a simple system to send email and include and attachment from another language we use called Smartware. Smartware has the ability to run command line programs and rebol seems to be the best language to run a simple script to automate this email. Basically we have one file that we want to attach and i been looking over this attach.r thats on the website. It looks pretty complicated for me as a beginner and i'm not sure where i need to go with it. Can anyone please give me some hints/tips or anything. I appreciate it in advance. Koie Smith

Hi Koie, Phil Bevan recently posted this to someone else asking a similar question:
<snip>
Asuming this scripts lives in the same directory as attach.r & bay.jpg you can try rebol [] ; assumes bay.jpg & attach.r are in the same direcory do %attach.r lv-header: make system/standard/email [ Subject: "A subject Line" to: [philb--upnaway--com] from: [philb--upnaway--com] date: to-idate now Content-Type: {text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"} ] lv-att: [%bay.jpg] mail "Some Content" lv-header lv-att halt

Hey, This is Koie again working on this email attachments. I have finally figured it out and am making progress with learning how to send email and such. My question is i want the program to prompt me on what file name to attach and then it send.. currently my program looks like... rebol [ Title: "Emailer that sends attachments" Author: "Koie Smith" Date: 5-Oct-2001 File: %koie.r Purpose: { A simple script, which uses the e-mail capabilities along with attach.r to send attachments. } ] system/user/email: [mechtn--tkweb--net] system/schemes/default/host: "mail.networktel.net" do %attach.r if (mesg: ask "Please Enter Message: ") = "" [mesg: "(None)"] lv-header: make system/standard/email [ Subject: "New Order" to: [mechtn--tkweb--net] from: [mechtn--tkweb--net] date: to-idate now Content-Type: {text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"} ] lv-att: [%test.doc] mail mesg lv-header lv-att Thanks Guys for the help!

Just type it at the console. It's one of the functions built into view. -- Graham Chiu

Hi Koie, think this is a bug in attach.r ... or maybe in the Rebol send command ... if you change the line in attach .r send/header header/to mesg header to send/header copy header/to mesg header you will get your "to" address.

hey thanks alot for the tip with the attach.r ... someone should update that on rebol.com! i've came along way with learning this language in like 2 1/2 days. Its a very smooth language so far and easy to understand and i'm not even really a programmer. i'm wanting to use the attach.r in a different want than i'm using it now tho and i think its gonna take alot of experiance to do what i'm wanting. I'm wanting to count all the files in say c:\1order and then attach them all and if the email sends sucessful then delete all the files from the 1order directory. Also when it attachs them all it says there are X number of files being sent. Anyways if anyone could give me advice on what i need to learn or help with the code i'd be very thankful. Thanks guys so much! Koie Smith

Hi Koie, Well the attachments are sent to attach.r as a block, so just create a block of the files you wish to attach. To create a list of files in a directory just do a read on it. For each of those file names join the directory name and add to block of files to pass to attach.r. To count the number of files ... just use length? You may also like to check out my email client .... http://www.upnaway.com/~philb/philip/pbmail/readmail.r which allows multiple attachements to be appended to an email. The source may be a bit long for you though.
