             Summary: SmtpAppender: add capability to send buffered messages as an email attachment (text, zip, gzip)
                 Key: LOG4J2-3332
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3332
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Appenders
            Reporter: Ron Grabowski
            Assignee: Ron Grabowski


Sending hundreds of buffered messages in an email body makes it difficult to view messages in a more traditional text (fixed font) view. Introduce new parameters that default to current behavior:
 * attachEvents: true/false (defaults to false)
 * attachEventsCompression: text/zip/gzip (defaults to text)

In the first iteration the filename will be "logEvents": logEvents.txt, logEvents,zip, logEvents.gz. Compression settings like level will not be settable.

This ticket will not add support for a timer to flush events.
