Hello,

With reference to the post on this link,

I tried to send a RTF mail from mainframe.
What happened is ? i got the RTF tags sent to me as a message from mainframe.
MS Outlook, Instead of using the tags to display the message. It showed me the tags. Because, it is sent as a message from mainframe. I thought i will use the tags.

The mail which came from mainframe is a PLAIN TEXT mail. Is there any options/parameter
of sending a mail as a rich text.

Can you guyz suggest me a procedure ? for doing so.......
How does this work ?

This is my JCL,
Code:
 //HXSULLA  JOB (T,TEST),'SUSHANTH-LLOYDS',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=B,
//      NOTIFY=HXSULL

O,

By default the attachment comes as a text file(ATTACH.txt). How to suffix it with RTF ? when sending the mail.

Hi guyz,

I asked my SUPPORT TEAM regarding the suffix for the attachment, is there something like an additional parameter where we can specify the EXTension of the attachement file.
SUPPORT TEAM said that attachement only come in .TXT format in our shop.

Thank You,
Sushanth Bobby

That is not normal. I thought it used the suffix of the dataset being sent.

If you have a requirement, your support team should be able to oblige.

You can send it as an attached TXT file, and in your PC, rename it to RTF.

You might want to ask them for the meaning of the word "Support" in their name :-)

Many places have excellent support groups, so the following is not universal.

Unfortunately, at some of the places i find myself, "support" is where one goes and is told why something cannot be done (as one has already discovered it doesn't do what is desired).

And fwiw - "it can't be done" almost always translates to "we don't know how". . . icon_wink.gif

I guess my real question was: what command or program is issued to send emails?

JCL sends the mailing address, message & attachment to a REXX program, which takes care of the mailing process. I don't have access to the REXX program.
