Send Email Kalle's node how to configure?

vvvv beta question
1

Hi people,

i´m trying to use the Kalle´s send email module, but i don´t know how.
i´m confused about the “server” and “port”.
Has anybody a running example, or an explanation?

btw, is there a facebook version or something like that? i haven´t found it…

thanks a lot

Ari.

Hi Kalle,

Ari

Hi bo7,

yeah you´ve got me ;)

I´ve tryied your solution but it doesn´t work, every time i use a file in the attachment it doesn´t send anything.

Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port 587

Any idea?

@bo7: could you show me your patch? maybe i´m missing something.

thanks

@lasal

just saw your post. yeah, i can notice 3 troubles with that:

  1. too long command line. since sendEmail app is command line tool it shoud has some ms-dos restriction on line length. (not remember exactly number of characters)
    best way to keep it short - use text file for email body
  2. non-latin characters in paths (like russian or german in /Document and Setting/users/blal-bla-bla/Desktop)

  1. spaces. you need to quote paths with spaces, e.g. c:\filename.txt works, but “c:\file name.jpg” works only in quotes
