I've noticed that the content of body is automatically quote-escaped.

Like.. If I send following email

var Email = require('email').Email
var myMsg = new Email(
{ from: "[email protected]",
to:   "[email protected]"
, subject: "Knock knock..."
, body: "Who's there? \"quote test\""
})

I will receive an email like

Who's there? \"quote test\"

So it looks like node-email is doing unnecessary(?) escaping of the double quotes. How can I prevent this?

Hello,

When calling my node.js script through cron, my email don't get sent, any ideas ?

Thanks !

email.js:146

You should remove the check on the body being not empty. You should be able to send emails without body (it's a common practice, especially among Blackberry users).

Thanks for the library, works great!

In the current version, you have to pass sendmail path to the constructor.
Since this is a thing you do once and expect it to work, it should be done the same way as from - by setting lib.path which then gets inherited into every Email instance.

Also, the error you get when spawn can;t find sendmail is rather cryptic:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: write EPIPE
    at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
    at Object.afterWrite (net.js:718:19)
DEBUG: Program node app.js exited with code 8

Hi!

Couldn't you make sendmail configurable (via this.sendmail, say) in cmd getter? The rationale is to allow for custom sendmail installations, when sendmail binary is not placed under $PATH

TIA,

Whats the reason for

Uncaught TypeError: spawn is not a function

error?
Thanks

I noticed that we don't need to config the password of our email. sure?

I have postfix setup for forwarding emails through GMail but node-email doesn't seem to work with postfix. Or is there a way?

default is sendmail -t

I get errors with node 0.4 > . e.g.

TypeError: Object # has no method 'setSecure'
at Client.secure (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/mail/0.1.1/package/lib/mail/index.js:256:10)
at Client. (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/mail/0.1.1/package/lib/mail/index.js:233:18)

Aaron, I very like the sintax of your node-email.
But when I send email, I get letters with bad RFC.

Also it would really nice if you add attachements and html possibility.

At the moment I do framework on base Ext Core may I use your work in it.
I want do like this

Ext.Mail({
email:'[email protected]',
from:'[email protected]'
title:'Title message',
html:html,
attachements:????
}).send();

Maybe you will help me?

My work is here https://github.com/mycoding/Ext-Core-for-NodeJS

I want to use Sourcegraph for node-email code search, browsing, and usage examples. Can an admin enable Sourcegraph for this repository? Just go to https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/aheckmann/node-email. (It should only take 30 seconds.)

Inspired by: What is Code? "Sending an email" steps 1-4. :)

Thanks!

I'm using the latest email module in npmjs.org.

I'm using the first example on your first page. I've tried on both Mac OSX and Linux hosts. In both cases, the "from" field is being ignored and the email is coming from [email protected]

Am I missing something? Is my sendmail misconfigured?

Not sure if this is an issue this this library or with UNIX mail but passing in the following as a plain text body removes characters:

Original:

CREATE VIEW v_town AS SELECT boundaries.gid, boundaries.city, boundaries.mcd, boundaries.navigation, boundaries.the_geom FROM boundaries WHERE (((boundaries.mcd)::text = 'T1'::text) OR ((boundaries.mcd)::text = 'T2'::text));

After Sending:

CREATE VIEW v_town AS SELECT boundaries.gid, boundaries.city, boundaries.mcd, boundaries.navigation, boundaries.the_geom FROM boundaries WHERE (((boundaries.mcd)::text =1'::text) OR ((boundaries.mcd)::text =2'::text));

Notice how 'T is missing from the second

hi did not see it on the source is the attachment implemented ?

Hi!

Please, make all header be SMTP compliant, i.e. containing at least one space after colon. So far To:[email protected] leads to loss of recipients (since sendmail -t relies on To: headers)

TIA,

There are top-level domains encoded with punycode (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.рф). The regular expression used to validate email addresses shouldn't check for any domain ending as long as there is a dot in the domain part.

1. I want to stream the body of a message, rather than making it a string.
2. I want to stream attachments to a message by just hooking up a FileReadStream.

Maybe the email message object could be a Stream object, and just alias the end() function to send() for coolness.

What do you think of this for an API shape?

var email = new Email()
email.from = "[email protected]"
email.to = "[email protected]"
email.subject = "Dja Get That Thing I Sentcha?"

// email object is a write stream, so pipe/sys.pump to it
// whatever gets pumped in is the message body.
fs.createReadStream("message-body").pipe(email)

// attachment stream
var txtAttachment = email.attachment()
txtAttachment.mimeType = "text/plain"
txtAttachment.name = "some-file.txt"
fs.createReadStream("some-file.txt").pipe(txtAttachment)

// or maybe something like this?
var att = email.attach({"type":"image/png", "filename":"image.png")
fs.createReadStream("image.png", att)

// or, even infer the name and type and set up the stream for me:
email.attach("image.png")
