Hi

You can generate the email from the command line, but Thunderbird still requires the send button to be clicked.

You can use the message argument to specify a plain text or an HTML file for the body of the mail.

Here is a VBScript example.

Command line arguments

Compose arguments e.g. args.subject

* example.vbs

Code: Select all

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Exec("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose" & _
  " preselectid='id1'" & _
  ",from=''" & _
  ",to='foo bar <foobar@invalid.com>'" & _
  ",cc=''" & _
  ",bcc=''" & _
  ",newsgroups=''" & _
  ",newshost=''" & _
  ",subject='abracadabra'" & _
  ",message='C:\example.htm'" & _
  ",body=''" & _
  ",attachment='C:\example.txt'" & _
  ",bodyislink='false'" & _
  ",type='0'" & _
  ",format='0'" & _
  ",originalMsgURI=''" & _
  "")
Set objShell = Nothing

* example.htm

Code: Select all

This text is <b>bold</b><br>
This text is <i>italic</i><br>
This text is <u>underline</u><br>
This text is <strike>strikethrough</strike><br>
<p><img src="file:///C:/example.png" alt="alternate text">

* example.txt

Code: Select all

This is an attachment file.

Annoyance...

Thunderbird has blocked a file from loading into this message. Unblocking the file will include it in your sent message.

You need to unblock the example.png file before the image shows up in the compose window.
