# clsMailDateManager

`clsMailDateManager` backs the mail-date screen: it retrieves and updates the mail-date list for pending correspondence, and submits an Appworx batch print job for cover letters (`PrintCoverLetters`). Like `clsCreateFileManager`, it captures the current user's default printer at construction time for the print submission. It inherits `LegalManagerBase` (this library) → `ClaimAppManager` (`SAIF.Application.Claim`).

## Purpose
- Retrieve and update the mail-date list for pending correspondence.
- Submit an Appworx batch print job for cover letters via `SAIF.Services.Appworx`.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal.dll` (embedded library, referenced by the `Legal` web front end)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `New(inDatabase, inSecurityPrincipal)` | `Public Sub New(inDatabase As String, inSecurityPrincipal As clsSecurityPrincipal)` | Constructs the manager for the given database context and authenticated principal, calling into `LegalManagerBase.New` and capturing the principal's default printer for later Appworx submissions. |
| `MailDateCol` | `Public ReadOnly Property MailDateCol As clsMailDateCollection`* | Exposes the collection of pending mail-date correspondence entries. |
| `UpdateMailDate()` | `Public Sub UpdateMailDate()`* | Updates the mail date on the selected correspondence entry once printing/mailing has been confirmed. |
| `PrintCoverLetters()` | `Public Sub PrintCoverLetters()` | Filters the mail-date collection to updated entries and calls `SAIF.Services.Appworx.clsRequestAppworxJob.SubmitBatchJob` to submit the cover-letter batch print job. |

## Behavioral notes
- `PrintCoverLetters()` follows the same delegated-batch-job pattern as `clsCreateFileManager.PrintLetters`, handing the entire print-submission process to `SAIF.Services.Appworx`*.

## Constraints and usage notes
- The captured default printer is used as the target printer for the Appworx cover-letter submission; callers should ensure the principal has a valid default printer configured*.
