Hi Subhasish,
These are the FM for sending external email :-
SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 
SAPoffice: Send new document with attachments via RFC 
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
(In 4.6C only, You can go to SE37 and click the documentation on how to use it. A sample program is provided there.)
SAPoffice: Send new document with attachments via RFC 
Note : If you are using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 then Export Parameter DOCUMENT_DATA-OBJ_DESCR contains the Subject.

How to send a report to an external mail-id?
Try this sample code :-
REPORT ZREPORT_TO_EMAIL NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 200.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
PERNR LIKE PA0001-PERNR,
ENAME LIKE PA0001-ENAME,
END OF ITAB.
DATA: message_content LIKE soli OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE,
receiver_list LIKE soos1 OCCURS 5 WITH HEADER LINE,
packing_list LIKE soxpl OCCURS 2 WITH HEADER LINE,
listobject LIKE abaplist OCCURS 10,
compressed_attachment LIKE soli OCCURS 100 WITH HEADER LINE,
w_object_hd_change LIKE sood1,
compressed_size LIKE sy-index.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT PERNR ENAME
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB
FROM PA0001
WHERE PERNR < 50.
LOOP AT ITAB.
WRITE :/02 SY-VLINE , ITAB-PERNR, 15 SY-VLINE , ITAB-ENAME, 50
SY-VLINE.
ENDLOOP.
Receivers
receiver_list-recextnam = '[email protected]'. "-->
