Does anyone know where this comes from?

 [1/5] from: swhite::ci::bloomington::mn::us at: 1-Aug-2006 17:19


I am writing a simple little script to send an email to everyone in the office. I put all their names in a block, build up a text string, and... send (address-block-name) (text-string-name) To test this, I commented out (with a semicolon, each email address being on one line of code) every co-worker's name but my own, ran the script, and got the expected email. To run it for real, I un-commented all the co-workers' names in the address block, ran the script, and got the expected email text PRECEEDED BY this (following text) for EVERYONE in the list EXCEPT ME. *_*_*_* stuff I can't explain *_*_*_ To: blee-ci.bloomington.mn.us From: Steven White <swhite-ci.bloomington.mn.us> Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 17:00:45 -0500 Subject: Tech tip voting X-REBOL: View 1.3.2.3.1 http://WWW.REBOL.COM *_*_*_ end of stuff I can't explain *_*_*_ *_*_*_ repeated for each addressee *_*_*_ Does anyone know why that stuff I can't explain appears in my email text when I send to a block of addresses, and how I can prevent it from appearing?

Steven, I don't know - this is just a guess, but are you using a licensed copy of REBOL? If not, this could be built into the free REBOL/View version. Jeff M. -- massung-gmail.com

Good point, I have purchased the SDK for work here, and I wonder if the unpacking process for that updated my formerly-free version of View. I am making this response to point out that you answered my question about three minutes after I posted it. Now how long do you suppose I would have to be on hold at a major vendor's support line to get an answer to a question? (No need to answer, that was a rhetorical question.) I probably can work around it by coding 12 send statements instead of one send statement to a twelve-address block, but it doesn't look as tidy.

Perhaps you should try send/only [ addresses ] {email-content} or even send/only/subject [ addresses ] {email-content} {subject-line} On 8/2/06, Steven White <swhite-ci.bloomington.mn.us> wrote:

Thank you very much, "send/only" did the trick. Total turnaround time, 5:19 for original posting, 5:37 for a solution, 18 minutes. That's almost as fast as the Acucobol support line, which I thought was the second-best in the world.
