Email address of the intended recipient
- CC

- Subject
-
The Subject of your message.
- Body
-
The body of your message. Note that the list to the left of the text box allows you to reference flow variables in your message.
- Priority
-
The X-Priority flag in the mail header. Standard email clients display the email in different styles depending on the flag.
- Text/HTML
-
Choose whether your message should be interpreted as plain text or HTML. Note, if HTML is chosen you will have to enter HTML tags manually.
This option is mostly useful when used in conjunction with flow variables, whereby a flow variable contributes the email text.
Attachments
- File Chooser
-
Choose a file (or more than one) to attach to your email. To include temporary data from your KNIME workflow,
consider using a Create Temp. Dir. node along with the relevant file writers to create your attachments. The trash icon will remove
the selected file, and the up/down arrows will reorder the attachments in the final email.
