QAD EB2 Requistions and E-Mail

We're having a terrible time trying to get requisitions with e-mail notification working. We tried for several months with the QAD-Recommended WMAILTO routine but it would often not send the message and never generate an error when it failed.
I decided to write my own mail application but QAD is not forthcoming in how their e-mail functionality works....all they would say is that they do not support WMAILTO or self written programs. They would not even explain how their code works.
I finally got my application working every time from the "E-Mail definition Maintenance Screen," which generates an "EML" file in the QAD Startup folder.
But when we test from the requisition screen, it appears that instead of an EML file, a file with the extension of REQ is generated then erased so quickly my application cannot grab it to send it. I have a feeling this is the same problem wmailto has....the QAD process does not stop long enough for the mailing program to grab the message before it's erased....it just gets the e-mail addresses and the name of the text file.
Does anyone have a good experience with this feature? How did you resolve the problem? I understand this company tried this 3-4 years ago but gave up. This is now a high-priority by management.
 
If you would like to deliver a fully integrated, browser-based MRO requisition management functionality against standard MFG/PRO (without tieing up additional license seats) then give me a call, and I can set up a demo, and point you to happy customers.

This DOES support a variety of mail clients, and in fact, when the user gets their email, they can click on the URL in the email, and go directly to the requisition in question.

We have customers supporting hundreds of MRO Requistion users, without buying the ProPak or the GRS modules. This supports all versions of MFG/PRO from 8.5 -> eB2.
