Re: Spool to Image, QIMGCVTI or QimgCvtImg Example.

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can I ask why you want to convert to an image before emailing?

Are you sending the email as an HTML email?  If so, does that mean you'll
be embedding the image in your email, or referencing it in the HTML with am
IMG tag?

There are already many products out there that may help that convert to PDF
and email the resulting file.
