Schedule job to send to external email address

We wish to execute a daily report in the background and send the report to an external email. The idea is that a management report is set up to send to a senior manager every morning for the previous days data.

I can add a recipient to the background job using the Properties - Cover sheets option, but this sends a the spool file to the recipient which is not acceptable.

If I execute report in foreground (for example report FBL1N) I can then send the report to a recipient via List u2013 Send, however I cannot save this in the variant to then execute in background.

I realise this could be done using ABAP but we don't want to create a copy report for what looks like should be something that SAP can do as standard

Thanks
