Hi

I was able to send an Email in 7.3.3 but since upgrading to 7.4 I get the error “mismatched input ‘from’ expecting RPAREN” when I try to send it. I was able to replicate the same error with the sample send email code from the manual. Attached is a screen shot of the error

Thanks

Aidan

I will have to figure out why that doesn’t work. In the meantime do this:`body = "<HTML><BODY><H1>This is a big header</H1>And this text is <font color='red'>red</font></BODY></HTML>"
recipients = ["bobsmith@mycompany.com", "1235558383@vtext.com", "sally@acme.org", "1235557272@vtext.com"]
myuser = "mycompany"
mypass = "1234"
system.net.sendEmail("mail.mycompany.com", "myemail@mycompany.com", "Here is the email!", body, 1, recipients, username=myuser, password=mypass)`
