Description: Mail sends an e-mail message to any Internet mail recipient. This primitive can be used in applications that monitor real-time data and notify key individuals of special situations.

If message is a numeric value, it is translated into a text string as it would be displayed. If message is a list, all elements in the list are translated separately and separated by commas. If message is a simple text string, the text is sent without translation.

The argument recipients should include the desired recipient's e-mail address in standard Internet mail format (e.g.,  name@domain.com)  If you want to send the message to more than one recipient, include a list of valid recipient addresses.

Your mail server domain name is set in the DecisionScript Server software setup or in the E-Mail Options dialog box.

Examples: mail("Hi there!","John.Doe@domain.com")

  = mails the message Hi there! to John Doe at domain.com

mail(read("Report.txt"),"John.Doe@domain.com","Status")

  = mails the contents of the file Report.txt
