FORMULA LANGUAGE


@MailSend
Example

There are two ways to use @MailSend:


Syntax

@MailSend
@MailSend(
sendTo ; copyTo ; blindCopyTo ; subject ; remark ; bodyFields ; [ flags ] )

Parameters

sendTo


copyTo
blindCopyTo
subject
remark
bodyFields
[ flags ]
Usage

Use @MailSend in agents, form actions, form events, view actions, view events, and toolbar buttons. @MailSend is especially useful with scheduled agents as a means of sending mail at a predetermined interval; for example, to send reminders about a departmental meeting. One view from the database must be selected as the Default when database is first opened for the scheduled agent to work correctly. This function does not work in column, selection, hide-when, or window title formulas.

If the MailOptions field on the form is set to 0, @MailSend is disabled, and the formula fails to execute.

If the user's notes.ini file includes the statement

NoExternalApps=1

then any formula involving @MailSend is disabled. The user doesn't see an error message; the formula fails to execute.

When the [IncludeDocLink] option is used, the database must have a default view defined, and the linked document must be in it. Otherwise, @MailSend will fail.

When sending to multiple recipients within the SendTo, CopyTo, or BlindCopyTo arguments, the names must be supplied as a list with a separate list value for each recipient. For example, to send mail to both Sam and Martha at Big Company, the SendTo parameter would be "sam@bigcompany.com" : "martha@bigcompany.com", not "sam@bigcompany.com, martha@bigcompany.com".

Sending rich text fields

You can specify a rich text field as one of the bodyfields in an agent formula only.

Mail-related fields in a document

When you use @MailSend with no parameters, the current document may contain one or more mail-related fields; if it does, those fields are used when routing the document.
