README
# Send emails from R using Blat SMTP mailer for Windows.
This package is a wrapper around Blat for windows which
enables simple email features. For details on the available features, see the
[Blat documentation](http://www.blat.net/syntax/syntax.html "Blat documentation.").
You will need to download the Blat executables (public domain) separately,
or use the installer function in the `blatr` package. See below.
### Installation (you need `devtools` installed):
```R
devtools::install_github("smbache/blatr")
# for 64 bit Blat:
blatr:::install_blat(arch = 64)
# for 32 bit Blat:
blatr:::install_blat(arch = 32)
# The above commands will prompt ask you if you are sure you want
# to install Blat. To force this (e.g. for automated installation) use
blatr:::install_blat(arch = 64, force = TRUE)
```
### Usage:
```R
blat(...)
Arguments:
... name=value pairs corresponding to blat arguments.
```
blat documentation and arguments can be found [here](http://www.blat.net/syntax/syntax.html).
