It is very easy to e-mail from filepro.<br>
Use mutt or sendmail. I like mutt for sending attachments.<br>
<br>
1) create a nocodes output format. generate the form and cat it thru
sendmail.<br>
make sure you have the From: To: and Subject at the top of the output
format.<br>
cat filename | /usr/lib/sendmail -t<br>
<br>
2) create a form using hplaser use pcl2pdf or some other utility to
create a pdf and use mutt to send the attachment.<br>
echo -e "This message is in the body of the e-mail" | mutt -F
/who_you_are_file -s "subject" -a fullpath_of_attachement
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:to_email@address.com">to_email@address.com</a><br>
<br>
I create individual sender profiles for each user and a generic one
just in case. I store these in /appl/MUTT/user_name.<br>
<br>
sample file:<br>
set hostname=appgrp.net<br>
<br>
my_hdr <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:From:richard@appgrp.net">From:richard@appgrp.net</a><br>
<br>
set realname="Richard D. Williams"<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
