Sending email from Workflow

[Miles Montes]

Many thanks to Dale, Tomasz and Neeraja for answering my query. I tried =
Dale's suggestion and it worked.=20
 
I have another question though, I include the URL to my email confirmation =
but somehow the "!" is always left-out (not underlined).  When I =
double-click the link, I got an error message because the page is missing. =
 =
Any ideas on how to fix it? =20
 
We are using Outlook 2000.
 
Many thanks.

If the email internet address of the user  can be passed as an event
parameter  to the workflow container from the triggering event container,
that email address can be used in the binding to the recipient name
container element (addressstrings) for your background sendmail task based
on the sendtaskdescription method for object type Selfitem.
If you have your internet gateway configured and a periodic internet job
scheduled in tx SCOT,  the background task can send mail to the user's
external mail system via their internet id without the SAP userid  being
set up in SAP.

Hi all.
 
We have an intranet system where non SAP users can fill-up a request form
(e.g. for asset creation) and submit it to us. When they hit the submit
button, the form will trigger an event within R/3 via the ITS server.  I
want to send a confirmation email (via Outlook) to the user from the
workflow to confirm that his request has been received.  How can I do that?
I cannot use program RSWUWFML because the user does not exist in R/3.  Is
there other way?
 
Our system is on release 4.6C.
 
Thanks a lot.
