The following works great:
Code: Select all
revMail "email1@domain.com",,"Equipment Maintenance Request", tEmail
address (string): A string consisting of one or more email addresses, separated by commas.These addresses appear in the 'To:' header of the email message.

The following doesn't work:
Code: Select all
revMail "email1@domain.com,email2@domain.com",,"Equipment Maintenance Request", tEmail
Thank you in advance for your help.

Well, I'll start off by saying I've not yet used revMail for anything, but, according to
Max's excellent wiki, I think your 2nd example should look more like this -
Code: Select all
revMail "support@livecode.com","me@example.org","Installation Help"
in the above snippet, the two addresses are individually in quotes -
[ "
support@livecode.com","
me@example.org" ]
in your example, though, they are both in one quote -
[ "
email1@domain.com,
email2@domain.com" ]
so try changing that part and see if it goes ?

Mr. Bogs,
the second "item" in the syntax is the CC address!
The first item, as quoted from the dictionary above (sic!), is supposed to contain a COMMA delimited list of email adresses for the TO part of the email. And that ovioulsy does not work as advertized for DevJans.
Works fine here on my Mac 10.14.3 and LC 9.02 however:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
revMail "email1@domain.com,email2@domain.com",,"Equipment Maintenance Request", "bla bla bla"
end mouseUp
Opened my mailclient with these two addresses in the TO field!
Best
Klaus

Thank you for helping, unfortunately that causes the second email address to move down to CC address and If I add a 3rd email address that way it moves that down to the subject line.

Works fine on my Mac, see screenshot. Also no problem if I add a CC adress.
What platform are you on? Sounds like a bug to me...

I am running windows 7 with office 365 x64, and I'm running LC 8.1.9 upgrading LC might fix it but it breaks my application. the error message i get from outlook is "The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using."

Did you try using a semicolon? I think the mail client is parsing that string.

Glomming onto to this thread. I have run into a similar problem with OutLook on Windows 7.
I want to have the user enter email addresses in a couple of fields and then use that to direct the email.
However, I have success using revMail ONLY when I hard code single email addresses enclosed in quotes (a "To" address and a separate "cc" address),
Trying to add two addresses for the "To" or "cc" entries gives me the "... Verify the switch you are using" Outlook error. Trying to use a variable or a custom property for the addresses fails also regardless of the "quote&" games I play.
The ONLY way I can get revMail and Outlook to play nice is to use hard coded addresses... not what I need.
Has anyone had this problem and, if so, how did you solve it?
