The Send Mail activity allows users to send emails straight from a Batch in Grooper.

Send Mail will send one email for each document in scope.  It has mail merge support for "To", "CC", "Subject", and "Body".

Send Mail also supports attachments:

• Content File: Optionally attach the document content.
• Metadata: Optionally attach the document metadata.
• Text Content: Optionally attach a plain text version of the document.
