    <p>I am desiring to send an email in R with an attachment using gmail. I have found that sendmailR does not work with gmail because it requires authentication (I couldn't get it to work with gmail so I assume this to be true unless someone tells me I'm wrong , in which case I'll post the R output and error message for that). I found a code snippet found <a href="http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Email-out-of-R-code-td3530671.html">here (LINK)</a>. As the site suggests the code is not formatted to send attachments but I have got it to send an email. I'd like to extend this code to send attachments (in an email correspondence the author of this code was unable to extend the code to send attachments).</p> <p>I want to send emails with R using gmail. I am a windows 7 user with the 2.14 beta version of R. </p> <p>The code that sends emails but not attachments:</p> <pre><code>require(rJython) rJython &lt;- rJython() rJython$exec( "import smtplib" ) rJython$exec("from email.MIMEText import MIMEText") rJython$exec("import email.utils") mail&lt;-c( #Email settings "fromaddr = 'bigbird@gmail.com'", "toaddrs = 'oscarthegrouch@gmail.com'", "msg = MIMEText('This is the body of the message.')", "msg['From'] = email.utils.formataddr(('sender name', fromaddr))", "msg['To'] = email.utils.formataddr(('recipient name', toaddrs))", "msg['Subject'] = 'Simple test message'", #SMTP server credentials "username = 'bigbird@gmail.com'", "password = 'pw'", #Set SMTP server and send email, e.g., google mail SMTP server "server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')", "server.ehlo()", "server.starttls()", "server.ehlo()", "server.login(username,password)", "server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg.as_string())", "server.quit()") jython.exec(rJython,mail) </code></pre> <p>Note this message is cross posted at talkstats.com. I did not receive a reply there (just members telling me they wish they could help). If I receive a workable solution i will also post it there as well.</p>

    1. COtry `install.packages("Rmail",repos="http://ms.mcmaster.ca/~bolker/R",type="source")` and see if that works for you (a small package I put together that I have not tested much, but it does do authentication)

    2. CO@Ben I tried your edit using the following:`code` send.mail("hello", "me@gmail.com", "me@gmail.com", auth = TRUE, user = "me@gmail.com",host="smtp.gmail.com", passwd = "me", server="smtp.gmail.com", verbose = FALSE, port = 587) The code went into R but did not return an email to myself. Plus can your package send attachments? Anywhere there is a me I changed what I sent to mask personal info.

    3. COI don't know how to enclose code. If someone lets me know how I'll edit my posts to make them more readable. There was an option in my original post but not in the follow up comments. I tired enclosing in ticks as the message suggests to do.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
