Aaron,

Last year, I knocked out a quick email utility using the JavaMail API.
Basically,
the QSYS interface is a CL wrapper around ADDENVVAR (for classpath),
ADDLIBLE QJAVA
and RUNJVA (to execute a java mail handler class - using JavaMail API).

It accepts parms for message ID and distribution group and can run in batch
or
interactive modes. Other developers can then plug it into their apps.

Originally, I did this as a "one off" but now it's used in about 15 apps!

Typical uses are application error warning emails and for exporting csv and
xls files.

Perhaps I should badge it as CLMail :-)
