Let me try to recap and rephrase, in attempt to make my point clearer.. I'd say ideally you would want a step to send mail, something like xx:send-mail. MIME encoding, packaging, adding attachments properly, and sending it over the wire in such a way that it is understood by the receiver, and all that could very well be complicated I agree. But should the one writing the xx:send-mail, or the one using it indirectly in some way, care about the technical fuss? Not sure I understood Norm correctly, it sounded a bit like using p:http-request to send the message. But that would indeed imply that the developer would have to dig deep into MIME to make it work, while I think there are plenty libraries available out there, that could do the hard work for you.. ;-) Stop glueing, start coding.. ;-) Grtz -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: fgeorges@gmail.com [mailto:fgeorges@gmail.com] Namens Florent Georges Verzonden: woensdag 16 november 2011 11:54 Aan: Geert Josten CC: Norman Walsh; XProc Dev Onderwerp: Re: Sending e-mails from a pipeline...

Well, you send an email only for someone to receive it, don't you? ;-) And you want him/her to get all the infos he/she needs to read that email. The MIME type is one of those.
