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 <-         


        

Answer 1

I found the simplest way in Ubuntu is to run the one liner Terminal command in R. No need for password.

try(system("mutt -s 'Run is complete.' youremail@anymail.com < /dev/null", intern = TRUE))

You will need to install mutt in terminal before this.
