// consult MAILSEND in here: https://github.com/muquit/mailsend and download the app 'mailsend.exe' for windows7 in here:

// https://github.com/muquit/mailsend/releases/download/1.17b15/mailsend1.17b15.exe.zip

// unzip it and put the app .exe where you want to use it.

// I have tested using Bridge to send e-mail using my gmail e-mail account and it works. I only needed to 

// I needed to send e-mails from Bridge using my google account, but first I needed to put on my network the app 'mailsend.exe'(i'm using PCs windows7 , CS6 and a network)

// All my 20 people team is using it, so I decided to put the app 'mailsend.exe' on a common place on network. I you are using it only on 1 PC you don't need you can put it on its disk.

// Solution: All you need is to create a bat file that tells 'mailsend.exe' what to do:

var mailsendBat=File(Folder.temp +"/mailsendBat.bat"); // creates a bat file on the temporary folder

mailsendBat.open("w")

// the place where app 'mailsend.exe' file is

mailsendBat.writeln('"X:\\[someFolder]\\mailsend.exe" \^');

// my gmail

mailsendBat.writeln('-t pedro.marques@gmail.com -f pedro.marques@gmail.com \^');

// the title can have encoding or not (-enc-type "base64")

mailsendBat.writeln('-cs "utf-8" -mime-type "text/plain" -enc-type "base64" -sub "Ich lerne seit ungefähr zwei Jahren Deutsch" \^');

// this works for the smtp gmail

mailsendBat.writeln('-starttls -port 587 -auth -smtp smtp.gmail.com -user "pedro.marques@gmail.com" -pass "[myPassword]" \^');

// If I want to send an image attachment I use this 1, 2, or more times. If content-type is "multipart/mixed" the inline images don't work. Instead the images will be sent as attachment.

mailsendBat.writeln('-content-type "multipart/mixed" -attach "C:\\Users\\Public\\imagens\\myImage.jpg" \^');

// this is the line to send a simple text line with no encoding specified

mailsendBat.writeln('-enc-type "none" -mime-type "text/plain" -M "one line attachment 1" \^');

// you can sen inline html that can also have links to inline images

mailsendBat.writeln('-mime-type "text/html" -enc-type "none" -M "<b>this is a test</b><br><img src="http://[any_online_image.jpg],image/jpeg,i">" \^');

// sending text line with special encoding

mailsendBat.writeln('-cs "utf-8" -mime-type "text/plain" -enc-type "base64" -M "Ich lerne seit ungefähr zwei Jahren Deutsch" \^');

// endind it

mailsendBat.close();

// executing

mailsendBat.execute();

// there are also other kind of commands (consult https://github.com/muquit/mailsend)

It depends on how you want Bridge to interact with your objectives.

You might want to use SDK code to have buttons on a panel on Bridge.

These buttons can read the pre-selected image thumbnails, and get jpgs sorter images on the Temp folder.

Then a window could open for you to put the e-mail title and the subject and click 'send'

For now I have no much time to code this, sorry.
