Report as body of email

I would like to have the option to send reports as the body of an e-mail. There is example on devshare <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/deploying-birt-reports/991-mailing-birt-reports-as-body-of-email/'>here</a> that purports to do just that, but I don't know how to use it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In that example, they use Actuate 10. I'm not sure I'm understanding the post correctly, but it says that if you don't have A10, then the mail and activation jars need to be added to your java project. From there, it appears you just call the MailSend class and it creates an email and calls the runandrender task to run the report. I have not set this up or tested with it at all. Just get this from looking at the included java files.

<p>Are you able to send an email in the shell using the same user who ran this report? You may need to work with your System Admin / Mail Administrator regarding this error.</p>

<p>Thanks Clement! That explain it. I am able to send the email using my personal id and not from my office id.</p>
