I have searched the EZ-Script manual for SMTP Client, No success.

I found documentation/example on the plugin details page. https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=128

For sending a text email, the code is

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "[email protected]", "Mr Recipient", "This is the subject", "This is a test message")

Some additional information not on the page:

"[email protected]" would be the recipient email address. "Mr Recipient" would be the recipient name. "This is the subject" would be the subject. "This is a test message" would be the body of the email.

Any of these could be or contain variables instead of hard coded text in your script.

You can see how to attach an image from the camera in the example on the page.

Updated Question for this thread:

What is syntax to add another line in the message body.

For example: This is a test message 1 This is a test message 2

Thanks in advance, Wayne

@WayneA

There are some string limitations, you need to think out of the box.

Try this: Create a file called crlf.txt and press enter then save the file.

ez-script:

#update the variable to reflect the above file location:
$crlf_filename = "C:\Users\ptp\Desktop\crlf.txt"
$crlf=FileReadAll($crlf_filename)
FileReadClose($crlf_filename)

$message="This is a test:" + $crlf + "Line 1" + $crlf + "Line 2" + $crlf + "Line 3"

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "JohnDoe AT anonymous.com", "John Doe", "mail subject", $message)

Or

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "JohnDoe AT anonymous.com", "John Doe", "mail subject", "This is a line\r\nThis is a new line")

Thanks both for the responses. I will try to use.

@DJ

yours is an in-box-solution

I missed that improvement i.e. encoding chars are there more than \r \n ?

@DJ The code you posted did not work. I got the following.

This is a Test\r\nThis is a test 2

The above was in the body of the email. Should I try a different method?

@WayneA,

Did you tried my version ?

I'll modify the plugin for the new line. My bad

There you go: https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=128

will accept \r\n in the message now for new lines

@ptp Yes sir, I tried to use but it seemed way over my head.

Never fear I will keep trying to use.

Upgrade to the latest plugin and use this:

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "JohnDoe AT somewhere.com", "John Doe", "mail subject", "This is a line\r\nThis is a new line")

@DJ Thank You very much. Hope I did not cause to much trouble.

Another question regarding format.

Is the new code added to the plugin able to handle string formatting. For example:

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "JohnDoe AT somewhere.com", "John Doe", "mail subject", "$sting1\r\n$string2")

With quotation marks, the email body simply displays the $string1\r\n$string2

If I do not use the quotation marks, nothing happens.

Is the plug in not supposed to handle string variables.

Thanks! WayneA

@WayneA:

string concatenation operation is not the same as handling special chars inside a string.

Try this:

ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "JohnDoe AT somewhere.com", "John Doe", "mail subject", $string1 + "\r\n" + $string2)

@ptp

That did not work. Thanks for you help.

same result ?

Yes Sir.
