Two methods can be used to manage the emails in WLanguage: - the Email structure that is used to easily handle a message.
In this case, to write an email, you must use the different variables of Email structure. Versions 15 and laterthe advanced Email type that proposes advanced features (data binding, serialization, multiple instances, etc.). In this case, to write an email, you must declare and initialize an Email variable. The possible attachments will be declared in the emailAttach variables and added to the ..Attach property of Email variable. New in version 15the advanced Email type that proposes advanced features (data binding, serialization, multiple instances, etc.). In this case, to write an email, you must declare and initialize an Email variable. The possible attachments will be declared in the emailAttach variables and added to the ..Attach property of Email variable. the advanced Email type that proposes advanced features (data binding, serialization, multiple instances, etc.). In this case, to write an email, you must declare and initialize an Email variable. The possible attachments will be declared in the emailAttach variables and added to the ..Attach property of Email variable.
When sending the message ( EmailSendMessage), the data found in the email variable or structure will constitute the outgoing message. Versions 17 and later New in version 17 Versions 21 and later New in version 21 Versions 22 and later New in version 22 Writing an email with an Email variable To write an email with an Email variable: - Declare and initialize an Email variable by specifying the recipients, the subject, ... via ..Recipient, ..Cc, ..Cci and ..Subject. To follow the progress of conversation, fill the ..MessageID property as well.
- If the email is in text format:
- Initialize ..Message with text of email.
- Specify the attached files if necessary by declaring the emailAttach variable and by adding them to the ..Attach property of variable representing the email.
- If the email is in HTML format: Use EmailImportHTML to initialize the email properties. If the email contains images or multimedia files, they will be automatically added in attachment and the content of HTML email will be modified to support the attachments.
Versions 19 and laterSpecify additional headers if necessary via ..Header. New in version 19Specify additional headers if necessary via ..Header. Specify additional headers if necessary via ..Header. - Send the email with EmailSendMessage. If the subject (or one of the email elements) contains special characters or accented characters, use the emailOptionEncodeHeader constant when the message is sent by EmailSendMessage. The email is sent to the server. The server stores the email until the session is closed. During this closing, the email is actually sent to the recipients.
Writing an email with the Email structure To write an email with the Email structure: - Initialize the Email structure by specifying the recipients, the subject, ... (Email.Recipient, Email.NbRecipient, Email.NbCc, Email.Cc and Email.Subject). To follow the progress of conversion, fill Email.MessageID.
- If the email is in HTML format:
- 1st case: EmailImportHTML is available:
- Use EmailImportHTML to initialize the different variables of Email structure.
- 2nd case: EmailImportHTML is not available:
- Initialize the Email.Message and Email.HTML variables.
Remark: We recommend that you use a message in text format for the messaging systems that do not support the emails in HTML format. - Analyze the HTML message to detect all multimedia files included in the message.
- For each multimedia file found:
- Create an attached file. This attached file corresponds to the multimedia file (Email.Attach and Email.NbAttach variables).
- Create an identifier (Email.AttachIdentifier). This identifier must have the following format "wdcid"+number of attached file. For example, WDCID5 if the corresponding file is the fifth attached file.
- Search for the multimedia file in the HTML message and replace its name by the string: "cid:"+Email.AttachIdentifier.
For example: Initial HTML code: <IMG src="C:\MyImages\Image.gif"> Replaced HTML code: <IMG src="cid:WDCID5">
- Send the email with EmailSendMessage.
Remark: If the subject (or one of the email elements) contains special characters or accented characters, use the emailOptionEncodeHeader constant when the message is sent by EmailSendMessage.
Example that is using the Email structure This example is used to replace the references to the multimedia files (images, sounds, ...) found in the Email.HTML variable by their "CID" identifiers. This procedure is called for each file found.
PROCEDURE SetAttachFile(FileName, Subscript) Email.Attach[Subscript] = FileName Email.NbAttach ++
// Replace in Email.HTML all references to the attached files // by the cid identifier CID is string = "cid:wdcid" + Subscript
// The HTML file was not necessarily created in the current directory // It can reference the attached files in any path // Therefore, extract the file name without path
SimpleName is string = fExtractPath(FileName, fFileName + fExtension)
// Find the name of the file in Email.HTML Pos is int = 0 StartPos, EndPos are int SubString is string Pos = Position(Email.HTML, SimpleName, Pos) IF Pos <> 0 THEN EndPos = Pos + Length(SimpleName) // Find the start position of reference // Find the " marker Pos -- SubString = Email.HTML[[Pos]] WHILE Pos > 1 AND SubString <> """" Pos -- SubString = Email.HTML[[Pos]] END StartPos = Pos + 1 // Replace SubString = Middle(Email.HTML, StartPos, EndPos - StartPos) Email.HTML = Replace(Email.HTML, SubString, CID) END
