Re: Sending HTML email from IBM

Already mentioned, but MAILTOOL (www.bvstools.com/mailtool) has been around
for over 25 years and inexpensive.  Less than a cup of coffee a day.  Well,
less than 10 cups these days.  :)

It's also very scalable with any online provider (Office 365, GMail, etc)
and even scalable to OAuth 2.0 authentication since a lot of moving away
from user/pw authentication (something IBM has said they won't be updating
their email client to do...)

There are also command and ILE interfaces for MAILTOOL functions.  Makes
sending emails from a program way easier than formatting a command using
QCMDEXC.

RPGMail was from Aaron Bartell.  IT's no longer supported and he actually
forwards people my way when they inquire about it.
