• Host: Required. The SMTP host.
• Port: Optional. Port on which the SMTP host is contacted. Defaults to the standard SMTP port (port 25).
• CC: Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients who receive a carbon copy of the email. These recipients are listed in the header on the CC: line. Defaults to an empty list.
• BCC: Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients who receive a blind carbon copy. These recipients are not listed in the header. Defaults to an empty list.
• ReplyTo: Optional. The email address to which replies should be directed. Defaults to From.
• Subject: Optional. Subject line of the email. Defaults to an empty line.
• MimeEncoding: Optional. The encoding used to send the HTML part of the body. This setting must match the encoding used to generate the HTML page, but it does not convert the page. Some mail clients use this attribute to determine the encoding instead of the appropriate metadata tags embedded within the HMTL page.
• Attachments: Optional. Defaults to an empty list. A string containing a comma-separated list of documents that KCM Core attaches to the email message as MIME attachments. The first two of these attachments are the alternative bodies of the email using the rules described in the following table.

* The mail client settings determine which alternative is displayed.
