compose DOS email message using carriage return

-ENTER or -CR switch provides a possibility to bring line break (new line) character (HEX value: 0D 0A) into command line without automatically executing the whole sequence.

Command syntax:
  • febootimail -ENTER
  • febootimail -CR

Normally Enter key executes the command input from DOS prompt. However, Enter is also used as carriage return to separate text paragraphs one from another. Thus, a paragraph formatted message renders a natural problem when has to be passed over to software using DOS prompt.

C:\>febootimail -SERVER smtp.server.com -FROM john@sender.com -TO jack@recipient.com -TEXT A first paragraph text in e-mail message body -ENTER -MSG The second paragraph continues after CR or ENTER parameter

The switch also provides a direct solution instead of previous workaround to this problem which required using a separate file containing line break character (e.g. -USEFILE enter.txt).
