Question re Nc_Doc_SendViaEmail

[info.sim...@googlemail.com]

Hi Miro,

using Nc_Doc_SendViaEmail seems to work different to the documentation. I used the sample script from the online hep

on a Windows;

- NoteCase Pro Vers. 4.7.3

- email client: MS Outlook

Result: new email created. eMail adresses and subject line filled correctly. In the mail body the content of the selected note will be imported. No file will be attached as documented. Tested .ncde and .html option

on a Linux (Ubuntu);

- NoteCase Pro Vers. 4.7.9

- email client: Thunderbird

Result: new email created. eMail adresses filled correctly. Subject line is in quotes e.g. 'test' instead of test as on Windows

The mail body remains empty and no file will be attached as documented. Tested .ncde and .html option on linux as well.

the export file has been created in the file system on either operating system.

Any chance to look into this?

Also is it possible to create an option to simply create a blank email with no subject and no body? I know one can use the lua command os.execute using the mailto: link (xdg-mail on linux) but it's not working as reliable as your implementation

best regards

Hi Raimund,

unfortunately, Linux has much poorer API support to implement this feature:

• on Windows it uses MAPI interface to add all required properties to a new email
• on Linux the code fallbacks to opening "mailto:" link with email text data being passed with " &attachment='<TEMP_FILE_URI>' "

           It is likely that Thunderbird "mailto:" handler does not support this parameter, so the attachment was not added.

Not much I can do here, Linux just doesn't have the API to do something more powerful here.

I'll investigate the feature to open an empty email. 

Would it be enough to just make "subject" and "to" parameters of Nc_Doc_SendViaEmail optional (so they can be empty)?

Regards,

  Miro

Hi Miro,

no worries - I'll play around to see what's supported on Linux / Thunderbird and report back in case I find a solution ;)

regarding the blank eMail it would be good to ave another nSelection value for a blank email - meaning no body/ attachment in the new email.

currently supported are; 0 current branch, 1 current note only, 2 entire document, 3 note descendants only, 4 listed notes

What about another value -1 for a blank email for nSelection - or make it optional?

My use case is that I implemented a kind of CRM system in NoteCase Pro for me daily work. When I have meeting minutes I sometime want to send an email to everyone who has participated and therefore get the emails addresses from the text or from any linked note (e.g. contact note) and just want to create a new email to all found.

best regards

Hi Miro,

no worries re Linux / Thunderbird - I will play around and see whether I can come up with something.

regarding the blank eMail - can you just make nSelection either optional or add another optione - e.g. -1 - to leave the body of the new email blank?

best regards

Raimund

Hi Miro,

thanks for your reply - I will play around with mailto: on linux ;-) and see what's possible - no worries

If you can just a an additional value to nSelection that would be great

currently nSelection support -- 0 current branch, 1 current note only, 2 entire document, 3 note descendants only, 4 listed notes

if we can have a e.g. -1 so no tmp file get's created and the body of the message remains empty that would do it.

My use case is that I basically have a small CRM system in NoteCase Pro and I have a function to send an email to all people listed in a note - e.g. meeting minutes. I check the text and all linked notes for email addresses and then generate an email to everyone listed but don't need the content of the note in the email

best regards

Raimund

I'll implement the additional nSelection value as suggested.

Top, many thanks!!!

Found out that Thunderbird is no longer supporting the attachment flag due to security reasons -

nothing one can do anything about

Thanks, this is interesting.
