Question:

Can I send an email using mProjector?

Answer:

Use the mSystem.openDocument(documentFile) where documentFile is a mailto command-line.

In order to create a preformatted and pre-addressed e-mail message, it is necessary to build a command-line string with the following parameters:

mailto:?cc=&bcc=mail>&subject=&body=

Where the following variable definitions apply:

Variable Field Entry
--------------------------------------------------------------
e-mail address to appear in the To field
e-mail address to appear in the CC field
e-mail address to appear in the BCC field
text to appear in the Subject field
text to appear in the Body of the message

Note the position of the question mark (?) and ampersand (&) characters in the command-line syntax.

In addition to the field designations, you must use ASCII hexadecimal equivalents as variables for punctuation characters. The following variables are used to represent commonly used characters:

Space ( ) %20
Comma (,) %2C
Question Mark (?) %3F
Period (.) %2E
Exclamation Point (!) %21
Colon (:) %3A
Semicolon (;) %3B

The following is an example of a command-line for the Subject and Body text using these variables:

var documentFile = "mailto:support@screentime.com ?subject=Hello%20ScreenTime&body=I%20need%20help%21"

mSystem.openDocument(documentFile);

This command creates a new email with the following information:
To: support@screentime.com
Subject: Hello ScreenTime
Body: I need help!
