mutt in filepro and file permission

[Richard D. Williams]

Scott,

Yes, you can use a system command within filepro to set the permissions .

(fn is the filename)
Just use,  system  "chmod 755"<fn

I created a login permission file for each user and create a text file in
/appl/MUTT for that user so I can call that mutt file in the mutt command
line..
g is the user @ID
EMAIL_TO is the email addrsss or addresses

g="richard"
EMAIL_TO="richard at appgrp.net cyndi at appgrp.net"

system "echo \"this is a test\" | mutt -F /appl/MUTT/"{g<"-s \"Subject
line\" -a /tmp/attachment.PDF -a /tmp/attachment.csv"<EMAIL_TO

sample /appl/MUTT/richard:
set hostname=axzas.com
my_hdr From:richard at axzas.com
set realname="Richard D. Williams"

I hope this helps,

Richard D. Wiliams
