Smartforms: How to CC email & Include a few lines of Text in Body of email?

Question

I have created a smartform and have it outputting PDf documents and sending then via e-mail and it all works great.  Except u2026 now I would like to CC someone and also have a few lines of text in the e-mail.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is my code:
IF p_mail = 'X'.
    wa_ctrlop-device = 'MAIL'.
    PERFORM mail_recipient_object.
    PERFORM mail_sender_object.
    PERFORM mail_appl_object CHANGING g_mail_app_obj.
  ENDIF.
  LOOP AT my_table.
    CONCATENATE 'ECS' comp_year izhr_emp_comp_summary-emp_lname INTO wa_outopt-tdtitle separated by space.
    CALL FUNCTION func_mod_name
      EXPORTING
        CONTROL_PARAMETERS      = wa_ctrlop
        MAIL_APPL_OBJ           = g_mail_app_obj
        MAIL_RECIPIENT          = email_recipient
        MAIL_SENDER             = email_sender

Get rid of the smartform-based mail sending code if you can.  That interface is quite old, simplistic, and inflexible (i.e., you can't do what you're asking).  I would use class CL_BCS.  It's especially much easier once you have developed a (custom) standard email wrapper class for sending various types of emails, including smartform-based PDF-attached emails.  You can even go with HTML and dress-up your emails a bit.
