The CROSS Email Suite is a simple, robust solution for sending and receiving email from U2. The suite is written in BASIC and interacts directly with your mail server. Thus the suite release the application from dependence on operating system specific features or additional tools which must be installed and maintained outside of U2.

Features Top
Overview
The C.R.O.S.S. Mail Suite allows email to be sent from BASIC or TCL and allows mail to be retrieved and decoded in BASIC.

The suite is fully MIME compliant when sending or receiving email and handles multiple attachments of any type.

The suite also includes a utility to validate email addresses and to check if an Mail Exchange host for the domain is visible in the DNS system.

For Users
The email suite includes an interactive program which allows a user to send one or more items from U2 files as email attachments.
This program can also convert text files to PDF documents before sending. When retrieving data from a HOLD file or spooler, the program will correctly encode it for sending and, if necessary, use adaptive formatting rules for PDF creation. When converting data to PDF documents a library of pre-established formats can also be used.

The program will use an address book stored either in a local file or an LDAP directory. Administrators can control the list of valid recipients and can limit users to sending to addresses established in the address book or just to their own address. Administrators can also control access to the program for each user in the system and may establish a standard message body or disclaimer to append to all messages.
For Programmers
The suite allows you to send a MIME compliant email with a single subroutine call. Email messages you create can be in plain text or include HTML for more feature rich presentation to the end user.

Messages created can contain multiple attachments which may be text or binary files.

The suite allows the programmer to specify file names and content types for all attachments, which makes certain that email sent will be correctly decoded and presented to the recipient every time.

When adding attachments both Quoted Printable and BASE 64 encoding are provided (taking advantage of U2’s in built BASE 64 routines where available).

Each message can be sent to multiple addresses which may be either primary, CC or BCC recipients. This allows you to minimise load on your mail infrastructure while maintaining the appropriate privacy for each recipient address.
