      We are windows server 2003 and to email out of Cloverleaf, we use a utility called BLAT. I have been tasked to generate an email with company logo, patient MRN and Visit Number with some formatting bold and underline to a selective group of physicians. I know how to generate the email but lacking the formatting and adding logo. Anyone out there doing this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Alka…

          You should look into doing MIME-based e-mails with HTML formatting.  This approach is what I found to be easiest.

          Thanks,

            There’s an article that shows how to use TCL to send e-mail with images.

            http://www.packtpub.com/article/tcl-handling-email

            Because they are using HTML to send the e-mail you can add  tags for the bold and underlining pretty easily.

              Here is an example of embedding a JPG file (company logo) in an email, using tcl. You can ignore the ODBC code but the rest uses a parm file to specify things like the directory name where the JPG file is stored.

                Alka,

                Today, I did something like you are wanting to do in the manner the others are suggesting.

                I found useful info at the following web sites.

                 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6706891/embedding-image-in-html-email    (MIME headers)

                 http://wiki.tcl.tk/779     (example of -param in mime::initialize)

                The first thing to do is to be able to send a plain text email with just Tcl. The packages that I use are:

                  Thanks Everyone for the input. I have enough code to figure out what I need to do.
