SYMPTOMS
When you use the Direct Mailer command line interface, you can send out a bulk mailing without a message body. If you do not specify a file name or URL for the TemplateURL parameter in the Direct Mailer .ini file, the job is processed but the users receive a blank e-mail message. This does not generate an error event, nor is an error logged in the Direct Mail log in the \WinNT\System32\Logfiles folder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create an .ini file named Dm.ini, and then save it in your hard disk drive:

[Job Data]

JobType=0

TemplateURL=

MailFrom=joeuser@microsoft.com

MailSubject=My First Mailing

DefaultFmt=3

MailPersonalize=0

MailingListType=1

MailingListLocation=c:\2Users.txt

 Create a 2 user list named 2Users.txt, and save it in your hard disk drive. For example:

john@test.com

jill@test.com

 At a command line, type DMLRUN /create:filename=c:\dm.ini /execute .
