There doesn't seem to be anything in blat's docs or associated files
which specifies the allowed format for attached recipient lists or list
of attachments (used with the -tf -cf -bf and -af flags).
I'm successfully using blat to send PDF result files to a small mailing
list of clubs, but it took a bit of experimentation to get the file
formats correct. - I haven't programmed in C/C++ for many years, so
couldn't find the appropriate section of source to unpick the code! :^)
I use a straight list of email addresses separated by CRLF for the BCC
file, but from experimenting with sending mail to myself at several
addresses with blat using a bcc file it *appears* that anything on the
address line that follows a space is ignored. If I can rely on that it,
would be very useful to be able to add comments after each email address
in the file (such as the name of the club).
As far as the attachment list file is concerned, it looks as if the
description in the syntax.txt file:
-af <file> : file containing list of binary file(s) to attach
(comma separated)
differs from what's allowed in the file because I again put the complete
file path on a separate line for each file, rather than comma separated,
and blat happily accepts it. Originally I assumed that any entries in
that file with spaces in the file path would require enclosing quotes,
but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Would it be possible to clarify allowed file layouts in the docs
somewhere please?
