Development Project Status: Duplicate

This project will add support to automatically copy the content of emails for a patient to the patient's history.

Emails for a patient are those initiated by:

• selecting the customer's or referral vet's or vet practice's email addresses when mailing patient documents
• selecting the customer email address in the customer summary or information whilst a patient is selected

When the email is successfully sent, a new Email record will be added to the patient history containing:

• the address of the person that the email was sent
• the date it was sent
• the text of the email
• the user that sent the email

Issues:

• do attachments need to be stored as well?
• should it be possible to filter Email records when sending and printing patient histories?
• emails may be larger than the 5000 character database limit, so they would need to be stored as documents, unless http://www.openvpms.org/project/large-text-documents is implemented
