Processing
While an email is always sent by this task (or at least attempted to be sent), the contents of the
file and presence of attachments depends on the selected option. Refer to the properties'
descriptions below to know what each option does.
Once the contents of the file and attachments is determined, the email (and attachments)is
either sent directly to the selected SMTPserver, or is deposited in the "Outbox"folder of the
local Microsoft Outlook account.
Properties
Recipients tab
l
To: Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s). Remember this is a variable property
box and you can therefore use various schemes to use email addresses that change with
each job at run-time.
l
Cc: Specify addresses to which copies of the generated emails are to be sent.
l
Bcc: Specify discreet addresses (other recipients will not be able to see these addresses)
to which copies of the generated emails are to be sent.
l
Subject: Enter the subject of the emails generated by PlanetPress Image for this task.
Note that if you use a data selection in this box, you must be sure that the data that will be
selected at run-time will not contain any parentheses, as this would cause the task to fail.
If you suspect that the data may contain parentheses, you should use a Run Script action
task (see "Run Script" on page401) with a Strip() function to strip them out.
l
Message: Enter the content of the email message. Since this is a variable property box,
the text may be personalized using variables and data selections. Note that since this is a
variable property box, its content is parsed at run-time. If HTML code is entered or pasted
in this box, percent (%) and backslash (/) HTML characters must be doubled otherwise
they will be disregarded.
Note
Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with
HTMLemails. In most cases, if you want to send your email as an HTML message, your
very first line should start with <html> or <!doctype html>.It should not be any other
