What this does depends on the method
. The function first
creates a template email body.
none
A file editor (see file.edit
) is
opened with instructions and the template email. When this returns,
the completed email is in file file
ready to be read/pasted
into an email program.
mailto
This opens the default email program with a template email (including address, Cc: address and subject) for you to edit and send.
This works where default mailers are set up (usual on macOS and
Windows, and where xdg-open
is available and configured on
other Unix-alikes: if that fails it tries the browser set by
R_BROWSER).
This is the ‘factory-fresh’ default method.
mailx
(Unix-alikes only.)
A file editor (see file.edit
) is
opened with instructions and the template email. When this
returns, it is mailed using a Unix command line mail utility such
as mailx
, to the address (and optionally, the Cc: address)
given.
gnudoit
An (X)emacs mail buffer is opened for the email to be edited and
sent: this requires the gnudoit
program to be
available. Currently subject
is ignored.
ess
The body of the template email is sent to stdout
.
