Of course, but as I said the basic mail sending is working I just have a hard
time understanding how to add file attachments.
It would not have worked unless the proper uses are added to the pas file and
also the laz_synapse package set as required for the project.
The only attachment example I have (from Michael) brings in mime
mime encoding is the modern way of attaching binary files to email messages...
we used to use uu and xx encoding... in all three cases, the bytes of the
attached file are converted into 7 bit bytes for transmission... the internet,
in all its glory still doesn't know how to attach files in their raw binary
format... it would rather make the messages (~1/3rd) larger than to save space
and speed but oh well...
FWIW: my only experience with synapse and file attachments was writing a DOS and
OS/2 tool to extract all the parts of a message into separate files so they
could be weeded out and only the real meat of the message used in further
processing and transmission... i've not done anything with creating messages
with mime in them or having attached files... only ripping them apart into their
individual parts...
