Hello, I'd like to send an email from R using Windows Outlook. The sendmailR package doesn't allow for authentication (usernames and passwords). Is there any other way to do this? From the Windows command line? Right now I am using a .bat file to send an email via a program called Blat. I'd like to reduce our dependencies and run everything in R. Thanks!

It hasn't been widely tested. Ben Bolker
