Friends,

With all the buzz around R Markdown, has anyone yet experimented with
getting  R Markdown files to automatically run, convert to html as usual
and then attach / run in-line on an email and send it?

I think I can put this together with a cron job, but i'd be interested
in thoughts on running this via task Scheduler on Win 7; so far I've not
found a way of getting Task Scheduler to associate .Rmd files with R.

Ideally, what I'm trying to achieve is, at a given time of day (say 6am):

  * Launch R
  * Run `xyz.Rmd`
  * Take the standard output (`xyz.html') and use in the body of an
    email (or, at least, have an attachment of the html)
  * Send the email

Any thoughts very much appreciated. I know this isn't strictly finance,
but I can imagine the finance community probably has the most amount of
use for something like this on a daily basis (emailing automated
analysis to yourself / desk etc)

n.
