The iw_solutions_email.ipl script was a different take on the same concept - the main thrust of that script is to make use of TeamSite Templating's presentation template engine to extract information from an XML document (the workflow information) and to format it for presentation purposes. ![]() Iwsend_mail.ipl is not meant to support "every possible email client" - it is meant to support connecting to a mail server and sending an email, which might be HTML formatted, and thus might not work on every possible email client (for example, HTML formatted email doesn't work very well in Eudora on Mac's, though it works just fine in Eudora on Windows). ![]() ![]() So I don't think you gain that much by using mail/mailx/blat/etc - other than the lack of portability perhaps. Only about 5% is actually inovlved in sending it. 95% of the scripts are written to generate the message and determine the parameters for the sending of that message. ![]() The only difference between what you are suggesting and what is provided in the scripts such as iwsend_mail.ipl - is the final means of communicating to the SMTP server.
