Workign in house now. With or without authenticated SMTP. Pretty cool when combined with FeatureWriter. Will be part of 2016.1

And it is in FME 2016.1 beta build 16440 or later. We'll start making these available on http://www.safe.com/beta by the 2nd week of February (2016). @cfvonner @cfvonner_inacti @tim_doran @voltagex Do try it out and let us know how it works for you. We also make a TempPathnameCreator transformer to use with it so you can get a temporary filename, write out to it via FeatureWriter, then attach the results to your email. Works slick like vic.

I just came here to post this as a new idea, guessing that it might have been posted before, not that it had already been done! The advent of the FeatureWriter makes the formalisation of the existing TCL Python Emailers from the store a key thing to do. I'll get the beta asap but the cool thing I'd like to see in there is the ability to select from a drop down menu different email providers and then see the port and service names get prepopulated saving the user from having to enter the details. This functionality seems to be standard in most email client apps when you first set them up, so they must be relatively static values, though, the ability to change them of course once they'd been populated would mean that reversioning of the transformer wouldn't be necessary quite so often.

In researching the new 'Web Connection' authentication options in FME 2016.1, I added two Gmail accounts to my FME 'Web Connections' list in Workbench and then went over to the new Emailer transformer to test them out... but the Email doesn't yet support using one of these saved web connections for its authentication. Would be nice to see this in the next version of the transformer in addition to a "Send test email" button...

It is awesome - have it running from AWS SES smtp service running on a scheduled FME Cloud instance that uses the HTML reporter in anger.
Good replacement for the custom transformers.
You may see it during one of the FME WT around the world stories!

I agree. The Emailer needs to be able to use a GMail Web Connection. Once we release 2016.1 I'll fork that idea off into its own idea. Testing is a great idea as well...not as easy but very good...

I agree. When we were testing it, right now it really works well with the Amazon SES services for sure. And HTML reporting...For The Win!
Great for mass advertisement and spamming people! :) Can only send 91 in one translation, but I don't think there is a limit to how many people you send the email to, otherwise gmail blocks the transformer as "too many authentication attempts". Fantastic way to advertise your product, just get some records of people's emails in the area you are planning to target and then poof!
That aside, great addition to FME. Great way to keep track of your translations without having to use an FME Server engine.
