Re: Sending E-mail

[John Hall <jhall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to All who answered.  I was able to get SNDDST working but did
not like the output.

Columnar reports just don't work well when people use proportional fonts
for their e-mail.
I tried to use the <pre> tag to force it into fixed pitch mode but
because of the content-type of the message the e-mail packages are
ignoring any formatting.  

I am now trying to use the QtmmSendMail API - program compiles fine but
will not bind to the API.

I cannot find it anywhere on the system.  Does anybody know how I can
locate this API?

Patrick : I called Net400 - their pricing starts at $7500 - I can just
about buy a whole system for that !
