Answer 1

Hello all,
I recently did an object which sends an email with the body.
Step 1.
Do not send the email directly by SAP functionality using smartform function module.
Set the parameter control_parameters-getotf    = 'X' of the smartform function module.
step 2.
Use function module CONVERT_OTF
  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                      = 'PDF'
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize                = lf_bin_filesize
     BIN_FILE                    =
    TABLES
      otf                         = gs_job_output_info-otfdata
      lines                       = gt_lines
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth           = 1
      err_format                  = 2
      err_conv_not_possible       = 3
      err_bad_otf                 = 4
      OTHERS                      = 5.
Step 3
Use function module QCE1_CONVERT
  CALL FUNCTION 'QCE1_CONVERT'
    TABLES
      t_source_tab = gt_lines
      t_target_tab = outbin.
Step 3.
Fill up the details for Email Body + Attachment for the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
internal table objtxt will have body of email (txt format)
  DESCRIBE TABLE objtxt LINES tab_lines.
  READ TABLE objtxt INDEX tab_lines.
  docdata-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objtxt ).
  CLEAR objpack-transf_bin.
  objpack-head_start = 1.
  objpack-head_num = 0.
  objpack-body_start = 1.
  objpack-body_num = tab_lines.
  objpack-doc_type = 'HTM'.       
APPEND objpack.
Packing Info Attachment
  att_type = 'PDF'
  DESCRIBE TABLE objbin LINES tab_lines.
  READ TABLE outbin INDEX tab_lines.
  objpack-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objbin ).
  objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.
  objpack-head_start = 1.
  objpack-head_num = 0.
  objpack-body_start = 1.
  objpack-body_num = tab_lines.
  objpack-doc_type = att_type.
  objpack-obj_name = 'ATTACHMENT'.
  objpack-obj_descr = 'description'.
  APPEND objpack.
  docdata-obj_name  = name.
  docdata-obj_descr = description.
step 4 :- use function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data = docdata
      put_in_outbox = 'X'
    TABLES
      packing_list = objpack
      object_header = objhead
      contents_bin = objbin
      contents_txt = objtxt
      receivers = reclist
    EXCEPTIONS
      too_many_receivers = 1
      document_not_sent = 2
      document_type_not_exist = 3
      operation_no_authorization = 4
      parameter_error = 5
      x_error = 6
      enqueue_error = 7
      OTHERS = 8.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions
