Html Email Body using Batch and Blat.exe

I have been playing around with trying to send an email using batch/blat.exe Sending the email is the easy part; the tricky part is sending the body as a Html message.

    Set EmailBody="htmlPath\file.html"
    set to=-to to@Email.com
    set f=-f from@Email.com
    set server=-server mail.Server1.com
    set subject=-subject "Subject of Email"
    set password=-pw password
    set username=-u username

    :: Send the email
    Path\Blat.exe - %EmailBody% %to% %f% %subject% %server% %username% %password%

The html file I am using is simply: 

<p>This is a Test</p><br/>with a second line

There isn't much on Blat around and the few examples I have seen aren't working for me. Can anyone show me what I'm doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • I think the issue was simply the '-' in the final line. Took that out and it started it work as expected.

     Set EmailBody="htmlPath\file.html"
        set to=-to to@Email.com
        set f=-f from@Email.com
        set server=-server mail.Server1.com
        set subject=-subject "Subject of Email"
        set password=-pw password
        set username=-u username

        :: Send the email
        Path\Blat.exe %EmailBody% %to% %f% %subject% %server% %username% %password%
