The subject line pretty much says it all. Is there a way to get MATLAB to send an email using the Mac mail program?

You can access OS X's Action Script using the "osascript" unix command. Just call that from Matlab. I don't have a Mac handy to test this atm, but it should be easy enough.

Dear Cyclist,

I assume, that this depends on the possibility to control the Apple program "mail" remotely. Perhaps an Apple newsgroup has more detailed knowledge.
Does SENDMAIL help you?

Yes, as Joshua said, use osascript to run an AppleScript. The script
might look something like

tell application "Mail"
set msg to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true,
subject:"demo", content:"body of email"}
tell msg
make new to recipient with properties {name:"John Doe",
address:"jdoe(a)whatever.com"}
end tell
send msg
end tell


(This may be wrapped.)
