BigTreeEmailService

We will be needing an email service provider in the near future, and it will probably be one supported by BigTree.

BigTreeEmailService provides one method, sendEmail, and it's not obvious from the docs how to send a message with an attachment.

Any ideas? A typical email in our situation is HTML with multiple PDF attachments.

Thanks!

Re: BigTreeEmailService

The BigTreeEmailService class is really for transactional information (forgot password, order receipts, etc) where an attachment would rarely be involved so it doesn't support those at the moment (but we'd be open to a community contribution extending the class to support attachments!).

For something with recurring automated emails to the public, integrating something like Constant Contact or MailChimp would be more advisable.

Re: BigTreeEmailService

Sounds good, Tim. I will see if I can extend the class independently of the service provider.

To clarify, we want this for ticket purchase confirmations. It's proven useful to attach a PDF ticket to the message itself. (We use a different provider for newsletters etc, which doesn't involve BigTree.)

Thanks!
