email question

[osquiabro]

re-post : somebody have a problem with SV forum? or SV block my account? see image

i need a template or example for send email with mail merge, my customer need merge your data into html templates and send email with template format, i have vumail but this template don't support large html because try with this and program crash.

Bruce, I do not know the length of html because the customer is who will define the template.

but my primary issue is how create html template, merge data and send email with data.


thanks

Hi Osa,

I think the size limit at the moment in NetTalk is 100K. (100 000 bytes.)
That can be made bigger, (it's declared in NetAll.Inc) but there would still be some arbitrary fixed upper size.

To make it "limitless" it would need to become a StringTheory object - but I haven't done that yet.

On the other hand sending more than 100K of _HTML_ would be considered as an extremely rude thing to do. (And would almost certainly be rejected as spam by most systems.)

>> but my primary issue is how create html template,

HTML is just text, so I guess you create it using whatever tool you like and store it as text.

>> merge data

pretty trivial using plain Clarion or StringTheory or whatever.

>> and send email with data.

Lots of examples and webinars around on Sending Email.

cheers
Bruce
