Constructors

Mail

Fields

mailHeaders :: [(ByteString, Text)]

All headers, including to, from subject.

mailParts :: [Alternatives]

A list of different sets of alternatives. As a concrete example:

 mailParts = [ [textVersion, htmlVersion], [attachment1], [attachment1]]

Make sure when specifying alternatives to place the most preferred version last.

type Alternatives = [Part]

Multiple alternative representations of the same data. For example, you could provide a plain-text and HTML version of a message.

data Part

A single part of a multipart message.

Constructors

Part

Fields

partType :: Text

content type

partEncoding :: Encoding

partFilename :: Maybe Text

The filename for this part, if it is to be sent with an attachemnt disposition.

partHeaders :: Headers

partContent :: ByteString

data Encoding

How to encode a single part. You should use Base64 for binary data.

Constructors

Render a message

renderMail :: RandomGen g => g -> Mail -> (ByteString, g)

Render a Mail with a given RandomGen for producing boundaries.

renderMail' :: Mail -> IO ByteString

Like renderMail, but generates a random boundary.

Sending messages

sendmail :: ByteString -> IO ()

Send a fully-formed email message via the sendmail executable.

renderSendMail :: Mail -> IO ()

Render an email message and send via sendmail.

Arguments

:: Text

to

-> Text

-> [(Text, FilePath)]

content type and path of attachments

-> IO Mail

A simple interface for generating an email with HTML and plain-text alternatives and some file attachments.

Note that we use lazy IO for reading in the attachment contents.

Utilities

randomString :: RandomGen d => Int -> d -> (String, d)

Generates a random sequence of alphanumerics of the given length.

quotedPrintable :: Bool -> ByteString -> Builder

The first parameter denotes whether the input should be treated as text. If treated as text, then CRs will be stripped and LFs output as CRLFs. If binary, then CRs and LFs will be escaped.
