Mail is one of the killer apps for the internet (along with the WWW of course).

On this page, I hope to accumulate pointers to various related programs, extensions, wiki pages, etc. relating to dealing with mail from Tcl.

Here are some other mail-related links in the Wiki:

• IMAP - Tcl implementations of this mail protocol
• MUA - mail user agents in Tcl
• mail notification tools (i.e., biff)

"EMail Package for TCL" [1] (are the error diagnostics with this primitive?)

"Sendmail"

"mail example" [2] (404)

"mail forwarding example" [3] (404)

'OTOH this works fine:

  % exec cmd /c start "" mailto:xxx@something.yyy?subject=abc^&body=bbb

' [give ref]

MG It looks like this is an MS Windows-only way to launch your default email client, rather than to actually send the mail via Tcl. cmd /c start (or, for more portability, [auto_execok start]) <cmd> is basically the same as typing <cmd> into the Start->Run dialog box - which can launch programs, directories, or pretty much any hyperlink/web protocol that Internet Explorer can handle (mailto:, telnet://, ftp://, etc).

• email pretty printer
• MailStripper
• Enabled Mail (aka Safe-Tcl)
• "EMail Package for TCL" [4]
• tcllib's smtp namespace [5]
• A tcllib based smtp mailer package - allows to create and send mails including attachements

Alpine is a community-supported continuation of the venerable Pine email messaging system. One of its features is Web Alpine, a complete cgi-driven web browser client. The cgi code that manages the client interface, does session management and interacts with the server-side Alpine program is written in Tcl with the help of cgi.tcl
