Hey everyone,
I have a simple task. I want to take an XML file, pull out the
elements in it, format them, and then send an html email based on it.
What are the necessary steps? Any suggestions? I know how to write XSL
style sheets. Most of my confusion lays in how to get the XML elements
for matted and the transformed in such a form that is email-able.
Thank you so much! 3 1760

This is a two step job.
First step is to create the text/plain and-or text/html sections. Ignore
all issues of mail formatting at this stage. This is a standard xml/xsl
process. Create the data as xml. Use xlst to pull out the things you
want and format them the way they should eventually be seen. Save the
result in one or more files (one file per format, e.g. if the mail should
have a text/plain section and a text/html section then format then there
will be two files produced).
Second step is to pack the files into a mail message. You could probably
use a stylesheet for that, but why bother? Use a mail or mime tool to
bundle the parts together. I have used perl MIME::Lite, but there are
numerous other tools available.

If you use unix/linux:
* Use xslt to convert the xml file to "hmtl file" (xml -> html) and "email
headers file" (xml -> plain text). You can use two xsl files or xslt processor
capable to produce more than one output file.
* Use the command below to send the files
( cat msg.hdr; echo ; cat msg.html) | sendmail -oi -t
-t - will make sendmail (or MTA pretending to be sendmail) to get recipient
addresses from headers
Recomended headers in msg.hdr:
subject,from,to (OR cc OR bcc),
Content-Type (text/html),Content-Transfer-Encoding (8bit),MIME-Version (1.0).

What operating system are you on and what tools are you wanting to use?
Why can't you do a transform and send a message formated in html (xhtml)? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
I've been referring to many codes and books and always see that the
stream insertion operators are overloaded as friends. Why is that?
Are there any other overloading that need the same type of
specification, as friends in the class that will use them?
Thanks,
TJ

I'm a but fuzzy about this. You would call it like this:Polynomial poly; //
Polynomial is my class with various properties
cin >> poly;
In the function itself, I would, for example, do the following:
istream& operator>>(istream& is, Polynomial& poly)
{
is >> poly._size;
is >> poly._coefficient;

I have to do some technical documentation for a client. The
application that needs to be documented is an Ms Access one. One of
the things I want to do is make an overveiw of the so-called form
flow. Is there a way to import the formnames in one go and display
them as a shape (each form a shape). Is there a way to import a list
from a table and display them as shapes?
Many thanks in advance,

In IE you can File, Send, Page By Email, and I was wondering if there
was a
way to do this in ASP.NET. I'm creating a number of reports and I
would like to replicate what IE does with a link or button. Ok maybe I
would like to do a little more then what the IE does. It would be nice
to populate the subject field and in the message say something like
"Html report attached"
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
