Email Object Properties

Description

Prefix the following properties with the <EMAIL> pointer. Use EMAIL.OPEN() to get an email pointer.

The <EMAIL> object is only supported in Desktop Applications. To send emails in web applications, use EMAIL_SEND_NOPROFILE() or EMAIL_SMTP_OPEN(), EMAIL_SMTP_SEND(), and EMAIL_SMTP_CLOSE()

The email object can be used to create and send an email using Alpha Anywhere's built-in email client. The email client is only available in Desktop Applications. An email pointer is required to reference the properties. An email pointer can be created using EMAIL.OPEN(). For example:

dim emailPointer as p
emailPointer = email.open()
