Sending a matrix in an email

I understand what you are saying. I just didn't think that showing a
sendmailR with a matrix as the body of the message would have been very
helpful since it is the fact that the received email has no content
that is the problem and that would not have shown up in the R console
output.

I thought that I had provided an example of what I wanted to do but

in

any case, capture.output seems to work, as in

sendmailR(to,from, capture.output(matrix_to_send))

I'm sure that there are myriad other ways (I tried print, which is
mentioned in FAQ 7.16 but it doesn't work in this context)

Thanks for your help.

You have not provided the minimal reproducible code that the footer

of this email asks for, so we are playing 20 questions.

Perhaps you should convert the matrix to a data frame? Or is this

an

example of FAQ 7.16?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried dput and it did not

produce

what sendmailR requires for the body parameter. Here is a

simplified

version of what I need to do:

x=matrix(c(1,2,3),1,3)
x

  [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    2    3

colnames(x)=c("a","b","c")
x

  a b c
[1,] 1 2 3

dput(x)

structure(c(1, 2, 3), .Dim = c(1L, 3L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, 
 c("a", "b", "c")))

I want to send x in sendmailR(to,from,x) and have it look more or

less

like the output above. Simple, right?

What about dput()?

I have a matrix which has colnames and I would like to send this

matrix using sendmailR. How can I convert this simple matrix to a
format which can be used as the body variable in sendmailR? I see

how I

can create a file attachment using mime_part but I would like to

send

the matrix in the body of the email.

The matrix looks like:

   ABD  DEF  GHI  JKL MNO   TOT
[1,] 0.44 0.81 1.67 0.37 0.31 -1.18


All the conversions I have tried end up sending the matrix

without

the colnames.

Thanks.
