Message and attachments options
Same as emailjs:
Message:
// headers is an object ('from' and 'to' are required)
// returns a Message object
// you can actually pass more message headers than listed, the below are just the
// most common ones you would want to use
headers =
{
text // text of the email
from // sender of the format (address or name <address> or "name" <address>)
to // recipients (same format as above), multiple recipients are separated by a comma
cc // carbon copied recipients (same format as above)
bcc // blind carbon copied recipients (same format as above)
subject // string subject of the email
attachment // one attachment or array of attachments
}Attachments
// can be called multiple times, each adding a new attachment
// options is an object with the following possible keys:
options =
{
// one of these fields is required
path // string to where the file is located
data // string of the data you want to attach
stream // binary stream that will provide attachment data (make sure it is in the paused state)
// better performance for binary streams is achieved if buffer.length % (76*6) == 0
// current max size of buffer must be no larger than Message.BUFFERSIZE
// optionally these fields are also accepted
type // string of the file mime type
name // name to give the file as perceived by the recipient
alternative // if true, will be attached inline as an alternative (also defaults type='text/html')
inline // if true, will be attached inline
encoded // set this to true if the data is already base64 encoded, (avoid this if possible)
headers // object containing header=>value pairs for inclusion in this attachment's header
related // an array of attachments that you want to be related to the parent attachment
