[R] Sending a matrix in an email

[Ira Fuchs]

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried dput and it did not produce what sendmailR requires for the body parameter. Here is a simplified version of what I need to do:

> x=matrix(c(1,2,3),1,3)
> x
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    2    3
> colnames(x)=c("a","b","c")
> x
     a b c
[1,] 1 2 3

> dput(x)
structure(c(1, 2, 3), .Dim = c(1L, 3L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, 
    c("a", "b", "c")))

I want to send x in sendmailR(to,from,x) and have it look more or less like the output above. Simple, right?

I see how I can create a file attachment using mime_part but I would like to send the matrix in the body of the email.
