Sending an e-mail through MATLAB using Microsoft Outlook - matlab

I am using the function found at the following blog: https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/94446-can-i-send-e-mail-through-matlab-using-microsoft-outlook to send e-mails from my Outlook account from the MATLAB editor. It indeed works, and I can also include attachments or pictures etc.
My question is whether it is possible to send a result of another MATLAB function saved and run at the same directory. I tried calling the function like that :
sendolmail('email_address','Subject included',result of a function);
When I run this, a mistake is returned. It seems as if only strings or attachments from my computer can be sent through the function. Any ideas on how results of functions can be added and sent?

No, it's all in HTML format, so you have to save the results to a file or convert the output to an HTML formatted output (could just be a string).

change recipient / attach a file to a sent email in outlook

I've been trying to test something out, basically looking to do one of the following things:
Change name of recipient in a sent file. I've tried using Outlook Spy (great tool) but every time I changed the recipient in PR_DISPLAY_TO_W it returned the following error:
Could not edit the property: HrSetOneProp returned MAPL_E_COMPUTED
Attaching a file to a sent email file. (I don't know if this one is possible, but would be useful if it was.)
I appreciate any responses.
PR_DISPLAY_TO / CC / BCC are computed properties. The store provider updates them whenever recipients list is modified.
Use the MailItem.Recipients collection to modify the recipients.
MailItem.Attachments.Add.

VBScript to modify email content type

I have incoming email set up for SharePoint 2010, and am sending forms from InfoPath using that method, with SMTP server set up on the SharePoint Server machine. It seems easier than elevating the permissions of an anonymous user with the InfoPath code-behind option. I also tried a custom method of sending the emails but was unable to find a way to send the form data along with the email message using the InfoPath 2010 code-behind option. So, I found another way, using the advice from SharePoint UK's website.
My problem is that while removing the x-mailer header actually solved my problem regarding whole email messages, it did not allow the attached form data to be sent to the library. The message would be imported and then just disappear if I did not have the "Save original e-mail" setting enabled. Inspecting messages in the drop folder I found they had a content type of "multipart/related" and if I edited them with NotePad++ I could change that to "multipart/mixed" and the attached form data would then be imported as desired.
So I went about trying to modify the VB Script to make this happen BUT now nothing happens with the script at all. Clearly I'm doing something wrong with it and VBScript really isn't my area of expertise. Maybe it's just not possible to edit those fields or maybe I need to attack it from a different angle. How can I get my VBScript to edit the content type for these emails?
CODE:
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.LogEvent 4, "starting mail filter"
if instr(iMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"), "related") > 1 then
Dim logMsg = "Mail Type: " & iMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type")
Dim tempType = Replace(iMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"), "related", "mixed")
shell.LogEvent 4, iMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type")
iMsg.Fields.Delete("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type")
iMsg.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type") = tempType
iMsg.Fields.Update
shell.LogEvent 4, iMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type")
end if
shell.LogEvent 4, "end mail filter"
iMsg.DataSource.Save
EventStatus = 0
I looked into this in greater detail and found that the content-type property of an email message is one of the many that is read-only using this particular vbscript library. So, I would have to find some other way of editing the file, and the work involved is more than what it would take to find an alternate solution that skipped email altogether. Therefore, I am abandoning the plan of using email in this case. If you take something away from this, let it be that there are read-only properties for the mail message object in this script.

Change the sender for an external email in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function

I'm using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function to send an email with an attachment both for a sap user and for an external email. So far, so good. I discovered that the sender of these emails is the sap user that fired the report and the function doesn't have the sender exportation parameter like the old SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 has. The problem is that I need the sender to be an external email. I've been searching and couldn't make this happen. Can anyone help or give me an idea? Thanks
As I have already stated in an answer to another question of yours, stop using the old API and use the new BCS API. The documentation contains an example on how to change the sender address:
DATA: lr_send_request TYPE REF TO cl_bcs,
lr_sender TYPE REF TO cl_cam_address_bcs.
lr_sender = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( 'foo.bar#baz.com' ).
lr_send_request->set_sender( lr_sender ).
Just try to copy the example report BCS_EXAMPLE_1 to your local namespace and exchange the line that sets the sender (line 50 in my release, might be a different one on your system).

How to send mail with attachments in Plone using a template approach?

I've been reading the official docs about sending emails from Plone using some templates, and it's working so far.
My question is: how do I add attachments using the template approach?
The MailHost.send command takes both python (unicode) strings and email.Message objects. That means you can use the python email package to construct a proper MIME message with attachments.
The standard library includes a great page of examples; any text can still be generated by templates just like in the documentation you linked.
Use Python's email module.
Examples:
http://docs.python.org/library/email-examples.html
The composed messages can be passed to context.MailHost (the MTA of Zope).
It is in every case better generating and sending out emails from the Python level instead of using the old DTML sendmail facade...don't use it.
This is my solution, maybe it is not the best:
create a mime_file DTML Method in portal_skin/custom:
<dtml-mime type="text/text; charset=utf-8" encode="7bit">
<dtml-var "text">
<dtml-boundary type="application/octet-stream" disposition="attachment"
filename_expr="nomefile"><dtml-var "file"></dtml-mime>
Call it (for example from a Python Script) as:
message = context.mime_file(file=a_file, text=message, nomefile='attach_name.pdf')
context.MailHost.send(message, mTo, mFrom, mSubj)
where a_file is the content of the file.
inspired by:
http://www.zope.org/Members/visibleoffice/HowTo.2003-10-22.1455
This is a quick&dirt solution, using Python Scripts.

Verifying/testing the output of mime4j parsed content

I am creating a tool that is required to parse incoming MIME streams and return the email body and email attachments as separate file streams.
I am using mime4j for this purpose.
Following are the problems that I am stuck on:
How can I test whether the email body file or email attachment file that I parsed out via mime4j from MIME stream is correct?
I have a large corpus of emails available in raw mime form that I want to run my tests on and need some automated way to determine which ones might be breaking the mime parsing by mime4j and tweak the code for that.
You could decode the attachments and then re-encode them. If the re-encoded stream matches (byte-for-byte) the original, then that's a good sign that mime4j is properly handling them.
I initially parsed out a sample corpus *.eml files using mime4j. I had to manually check them for parsing errors as I had no other good choice.
Now I am using the earlier parsed out emails as testbed over which I check my parsed out results iteratively.
