Fields Explanation

Field	Description	Specification & Note	Example
To/CC/BCC	Designates who receive this email and how.	Required, must provide one of them at least. Specification [email protected],[email protected],... or Name A\|[email protected],Name B\|[email protected],... That is, just write email addresses (or with contact name in Name\|Address format) and separate them by comma (,). File Supported AMSFE Also supports reading email addresses from a plain text file (.txt or any other extensions), ONE recipient per line ([email protected] or Name\|[email protected] format). Remarks* a few SMTP servers reject sending emails to self (the sender is the same as the receiver), if your message cannot be sent successfully, you may check this reason.	Direct Addresses [email protected],[email protected],John\|[email protected],Jack\|[email protected] Recipients File E:\recips_for_amsfe\classmates.txt
Subject	The subject of this email.	Required. Must be written in ONE line.	This is a test email.
Attachments	The attachments which will be sent with this email.	Optional. Specification Supports file and folder attachments, just give full path of each file/folder and separate them by vertical (\|). Also supports emptying corresponding folder after sent it successfully, just append E string to folder path. Remarks* a few SMTP servers reject sending the unsafe executable files (such as .exe/.bat/.com) directly, the servers will return the 552 error code (such as Gmail), you can compress these files as .zip/.rar or others for sending to solve this problem. Now, even the compressed file that include the unsafe executable files are not allowed to send also, such as Gmail, please click here to know more details. So, to ensure your message can be sent successfully, please rename the unsafe executable files and then compress them for sending (tell receivers the original file names in content). *E is usually used to avoid sending duplicate files under a fixed folder. For instance: you plan to send latest machine running log to some colleagues every day, and a program logs them into E:\logtosend folder with different file names. So, you may need to use this folder attachment (E:\logtosend) in your email file. After it worked a few times, you will find that the received attachments include the previous logs every time, at this time, this option is very useful, it ensures that your colleagues will no longer receive duplicate and expired logs. But please note that you may need to choose a proper time for schedule (usually, after finished logging).	E:\atts\fileA.txt\|E:\atts\folderA\|E:\atts\folderB*E\|E:\atts\fileB.png
Mail_Type	Specifies the email content is 'Plain Text' or 'Rich Text' (HTML format).	Optional. P or R. P = Plain Text, R = Rich Text (HTML), default: P.	P
Content	The email content.	Optional. Specification For plain text, just write content directly, for rich text, please write HTML source code. File Supported AMSFE Also supports reading email content from a file (.txt, .html or any other extensions that contain text). Remarks To get the HTML source code, just open your .html file by Notepad and do a full text copy; to get a HTML file, just design email content in AMSFE's Rich Text (HTML) Email Content Editor and save it. If you use rich text (HTML) as email content, you must specify Mail_Type field as R, else the recipients will receive the HTML source code, no one knows what you meaning.	Direct Text Dear John, I have got the greeting card, thank you! Content File E:\content_for_amsfe\for_classmates.html
Priority	Set the priority of email.	Optional. H, N or L. H = High, N = Normal, L = Low, default: N.	H

Schedule	Set the automatic emailing schedule here.	Required. AMSFE supports yearly, monthly (day and weekday), weekly, daily, specific date schedules and repeated sending. You can set many schedules here, and must separate them by vertical (\|). Specification Yearly MM-DD HH:MI Monthly DD HH:MI or Monthly LastDay HH:MI or Monthly First/Second/Third/Fourth/Fifth/Last d HH:MI Weekly d HH:MI Daily HH:MI Specific YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI Repeat - i t, to set repeated sending, just append it to above schedules. Remarks* YYYY - years as 1900-9999. MM - months as 01-12. DD - days as 01-31. HH - hours as 00-23. MI - minutes as 00-59. d - days of week as 0-6 (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, ...). i - interval minutes as 10-120. t - repeated times as 1-3. 'LastDay' may be 31 (for Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Aug, Oct, Dec), 30 (for Apr, Jun, Sep, Nov), 28 or 29 (for Feb), so, it is a very flexible option. All the blanks between blue texts are ONE space character.

Text/Initialization/Configuration Files (*.txt;*.ini;*.cfg) Explanation

These 3 file types have the same format, please choose the appropriate extension according to your preference.
The first line must be [AMSFE_Email_File].
Please use equal sign (=) to separate name and data for each field, e.g. Subject=This is a test email.
Name and data of each field must be written in one line except 'Content' field.
For 'Content' field, if uses a content file, just write it in one line as above; if uses direct text, please place all data between <BEGIN> and <END>.
E.g. Content=<BEGIN>Hello Michael,
Thanks for your help, now I know about how to make it, thank you again.
Best regards!
Yours: Jack<END>

XML Files (*.xml) Explanation

Just write data in the corresponding element/field by referring to the XML sample files.
Data must be written in one line except 'Content' element/field.
Please replace & symbol with &, < symbol with <, > symbol with > (do NOT replace & in &, < and > again) for Attachments, Subject and Content elements/fields. This is XML/HTML specification, else the XML file can not be parsed by AMSFE or any other XML reader.
These symbols usually appear HTML source code in Content field, so we recommend you use file content to replace direct HTML source code for Content field in XML file.
All element/field names are case sensitive.
