Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] plans for a notification mechanism in the API?

[Chris Weiss]

I believe you get this as a basic part of the email api.  Have a look at
phpgwapi/inc/class.send.inc.php, it's not well documented but is cleanly coded. 
 For
something a bit more feature filled and complicated, have a look at
email/inc/class.mail_send.inc.php and other files in email/inc/
