[ email_compose ]

Method

[Email_Compose] allows an email message to be composed. For most purposes the [Email_Send] tag itself provides enough email composition options, but the [Email_Compose] type can be used if more control is needed. Objects of this type are usually passed to [Email_Queue] or [Email_Immediate] for sending. [Email_Compose] accepts the same parameters as [Email_Send] including -To, -From, -Subject, -Cc, -Bcc, -Sender, -ReplyTo, etc. It accepts a -Body parameter to setup a default text part and an -HTML parameter to set up a default HTML part. The -ContentType, -CharacterSet, -TransferEncoding, -ContentDisposition, -ExtraMIMEHeaders, and -Attachments can also be specified. In addition, the type supports four member methods that allow individual parts to be added to the message. [Email_Compose->AddTextPart] adds a text part to the message (accepts the text to add or a -Path parameter referencing a file to add). [Email_Compose->AddHTMLPart] adds an HTML part to the message (accepts the text to add or a -Path parameter referencing a file to add). [Email_Compose->AddAttachemnt] adds an attachment to the message (accepts the text to add or a -Path parameter referencing a file to add as well as a name parameter that specifies the name of the included file). And, [Email_Compose->AddPart] adds a generic part to the message (accepts the data of the part and a name for the part). The type also supports four member methods that are used by the [Email_Queue] or [Email_Immediate] methods. These include [Email_Compose->Recipients], [Email_Compose->Data], [Email_Compose->From], and [Email_Compose->Summary]. These methods are not usually called directly.

Creating a multi-part message

The code below will create a message with two different text parts and then queue it up to be sent.

Code

var(my_msg) = email_compose(-to='to@example.org', -from='from@example.com',
    -subject='Re: Subj', -body='Good Deal')    
$my_msg->addTextPart(-data='additional part')
email_queue(-host='smtp.example.com', -data=$my_msg->data, -from=$my_msg->from, 
    -recipients=$my_msg->recipients)
