[R] Sending emails from R under Windows

[David Khabie-Zeitoune]

Thanks to everyone that responded on this subject -- 4 responses with 4
separate solutions to the problem! Thanks especially to Gabor
Grothendieck for introducing me to "blat", the freeware emailer
executable which was the solution I implemented in the end, as it
avoided problems caused by Outlook's security features getting in the
way (my COM instance of Outlook got very paranoid when R tried to send
mails and kept popping up with warning messages which meant I could not
really use this non-interactively).

Anyway, thanks again.

Subject: [R] Sending emails from R under Windows


Hi

Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows?
I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to
drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have
found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works
under Unix by shelling out a mail command. 

Thanks,

David
