Done Modification to EMAIL Function

[Jay Sage]

The current version of the EMAIL function does not accept addresses with uppercase letters. I frequently write addresses with uppercase letters to make them easier to read (e.g., [email protected]). I can't recall ever having a problem with that. If I am not mistaken, domain names must be case-insensitive, and I have not run into any email server that rejected a user name with uppercase letters.

I created a user function to replace EMAIL with several additions of "A-Z" after "a-z" to accept the uppercase letters.

Curious: where's a server that will accept (let alone relay) email from TCC? Gmail used to but stopped it 3-4 years ago.

GMail still works for me.

sendmail /SSL=2 /v [email protected] %$

MailServer=smtp.gmail.com
[email protected]
MailPort=587
[email protected]
MailPassword=08679e7c2c9709e4bddecf2db4a0ab65309f87805cd22bed3339e257f5c277f0
MailSSL=Yes

I have a mailmerge script that I wrote and use it frequently to send out messages to as many as thousands of recipients. Most of the time I'm using the mail server at TigerTech that I use for my own accounts and those of several of the organizations for which I provide IT management. I have occasionally used other mail servers (for organizations that didn't use TigerTech). However, I never have tried to do it through my gmail account.
