E-mail Notifier Plug-in

The E-mail plug-in is displayed when you choose E-mail in the Notifier Kind pop-up menu in the Notifier Info pane.

Insert variable

Variables are markers in the text that are replaced by another value when a filter, notifier or service is used. Use this menu to choose from the available variables. When one is chosen, it is inserted at the insertion point, or replaces the selected text. Refer to the Notifier Variables page for descriptions of the available variables.

Text field

Enter the text for the body of the e-mail when this notifier is used. You can insert variables like those shown between braces. See the Insert variable item above, or expert users can type them directly.

To

Enter the receipient of the e-mail here. You must provide at least one recipient in either the To or Cc fields, or no message will be sent. You can just use an e-mail address, e.g. info@dejal.com (without the quotes), or a name and address in the standard format, e.g. Dejal Systems (without the quotes). This field supports auto-completion and has a drop-down menu that lists matching entries from your Address Book.

Cc

This field is the same as the To field, but for the carbon-copy header.

From

For the Apple Mail transport, this is a pop-up menu, which lists the mail accounts from Apple's Mail app. For other transports, it is a field; enter your email address. This value is required.

Reply-To

Use this field if you want to have any replies go to a different address than your From one. This field is not available for the Apple Mail transport.

Subject

Enter a subject for the e-mail message. You can include variables in this field: if this field is the active field (i.e. it has a selection or insertion point), a variable chosen in the Insert variable pop-up menu will be inserted or replaced in this field.

X-Header

You can optionally add an extra header to the e-mail message. Type the header name in the left field; do not use any spaces. Enter the associated value in the right field; this field also supports inserting variables. The screenshot above shows using this field for the URL of the test. These fields are not available for the Apple Mail transport.

Transport

Leave this at Apple Mail to use Apple's Mail app to send the email. It will be launched in the background if not already running, and the sent emails will be in your Sent mailbox. Or choose a SMTP server or Sendmail tool to use to send messages with this notifier. If you haven't created any yet, choose Add Server to add one via the E-mail Transport Options panel. The Apple Mail transport is recommended, unless you need more control.

Options

This button will display the E-mail Transport Options panel to allow editing the chosen transport method.
