Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Managers API Reference

sendEmail

This procedure sends an e-mail message. This procedure is similar to notifyUser, but is more flexible and has additional options specific to sending an e-mail message. Most of the parameters are optional and can be left blank, as appropriate. The procedure allows multiple file attachments to be sent using comma-delimited lists. Because this procedure uses MAPI for client e-mail, it works with whatever e-mail is installed on the client PC sending the e-mail. On the server, it uses sendmail, and some options might not be supported.
