Our SMTP creates XML requests in the cViewMAIL
outbox. cViewMAIL then processes the requests and sends the
messages.
This utility is included
with our SMTP User Function Library. It is also available as
a stand alone program. You can
use it with 3rd party applications to send email
messages to an SMTP server.
You can build HTML formatted email messages
including embedded images.
You can load an external HTML file as the
text of the message
You can then Find/Replace to create a custom
message for each recipient.
A free
trial version is available for evaluation on our download
page. Please bookmark this page, download that, and test-drive

These
UFLs (User Function Libraries) give Crystal Reports the ability to use
e-mail as a delivery method. This is extremely useful for a long list of
reasons.
For example, e-mail is
ubiquitous, and it's a primary information exchange and storage tool
today. With this functionality, your report recipients can manage their
received reports in their e-mail system. It doesn't take much thinking
to realize this is a "must have" function!
Testimonial
We use the Outlook
version with our Exchange server to process all our orders.
A Crystal report containing the quote, order, and
shipment can be displayed on the screen (optional), but the hidden lines
build the email to send to the correct department as defined by our
accounting software. This builds out a nicely sized and formatted e-mail
with all necessary info. The recipient can preview, edit, and
forward/reply this info without going into the accounting software to
look up the order or print a hard copy. It even sends to our cell
phones.
This is very handy, as we have 17 techs on the
road and being a service center it keeps the paper from piling up.
Crystal can send a message as HTML, but if it contains many fields and
the user tries to edit it like normal mail they get very frustrated.
Chelsea software has bridged that gap. This add-on saved each employee
twenty minutes a day.
