Using revMail

Post by user#606 » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:45 am

If you need to send pictures or other attachments by E-mail, perhaps using revMail or something else, how can that be done?

revMail cannot automatically append an attachment (not without some tweaks that in extreme cases could be construed as exploit manipulation) - especially not cross platform, as all it does is invoke the user's default email client.

To send directly from Rev, you would need an external library such as one found in the links from http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... light=smtp

If you do a search on this forum for SMTP you'll see that there are various discussions about emailing attachments directly from Rev, and some of these may give an extra angle to think about, but by and large, it's really about finding which of these libraries you get to grips with easiest.
