This is a fun little script I set up mostly to see if I could do it. It actually turned out to come in handy when I’m configuring email addresses and new mailboxes in exchange, and want to send a quick test email without changing windows.
The script asks for a recipient, a subject, and a body. It then confirms you want to send the email.
Note: The body is stored in HTML. This means if you want a line break, you need to type <br>in your line, as opposed to hitting ‘Enter’.
You will want to change the “From”, “SmtpServer”, and “$Sig” lines to meet your needs. For the $sig variable, an HTML file containing your signature is expected.
