how do you send email from R

Question

I want to send emails from R. This is what I have so far:

library(sendmailR)


from <- \"eamil@example.com\"
to <- \"email2@example.com\"
subject <-

Sorry for bumping up this thread. If you want to send email from R using Microsoft outlook, below is the way to go using the RDCOMClient package. I myself spent a lot of time trying to find an answer on this. I thought it would be useful to have this solution too in this thread for users.

library (RDCOMClient)

OutApp <- COMCreate("Outlook.Application")
outMail = OutApp$CreateItem(0)
outMail[["To"]] = "test@test.com"
outMail[["subject"]] = "Test Subject"
outMail[["body"]] = "Body of email"               
outMail$Send()
