RE: Text format using ESNDMAIL

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jenny:
We have a commercial product that does what you are trying to do.
Basically it sounds like you are converting the spool file to text and
then emailing.  That will work for most, but not all spool files.  Our
product also converts the spool files to PDF, RTF or HTM formats.  So I
would suggest you find some utility (or write one) that will convert the
spool file to either RTF or PDF and then email it.  Good luck.

Subject: Text format using ESNDMAIL


Dear List,

I am a junior programmer developing a utility to e-mail our invoices
using esndmail.  My main problem is the format that the file attachment
takes when the person receives it.  The invoices look okay when opened
up but seem a lot wider than the normal spool file, with the consequence
that when printed the text wraps around and is unreadable.  Is there
anyway around this apart from re-jigging the printfile to be really
narrow?

When you do a drag and drop from Ops Navigator to your desk top then
print the text file it comes out fine.  Is there anyway that the
esndmail utility can produce the text file in the same format as this (a
way of changing font or other defaults...)?

Thanks in advance for any help - it could really speed up such
developments in the future!
