SMTPTEXT - Send Text or HTML Email Message from a Text File Member
Description The SMTPTEXT command is used in conjunction with an RPG program to create a text or HTML message and email the message as an embedded text or HTML Message. The main purpose of this command is to allow users to send large text messages that can contain plain text as well as embedded URL information such as email addresses and web site locations when writing text to the message file from an RPG program and specifying 'text/plain' for the MIME type. RAW HTML messages can also be created with this command by writing HTML commands to the message file from the RPG program and specifying 'text/html' for the MIME type.
Use option 30 on the RJSSMTP menu to send a sample HTML message from file SMTPMSGTST in library RJSSMTP.
