Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app

[Earthednet-wp]

Richard,
I implemented a php script to send mail to me, with some diagnostic information, when my Director program threw a script error. I am not at my desktop, so can't tell you the exact way to find it, but I am sure you can google it. You just post your message and destination to the php script, and the email gets sent. It's your choice whether to notify the user. This does involve having a server, but it's easy and works.
Best,
Bill
