I'm happy with Jmail.dll, the free version. You can find it here: www.dimac.net Go to Free Downloads and download w3Jmail
The installation program extract some files, but the only necessary piece is jmail.dll. Attached the function I have wrapped around it. Jmail can manage smtp authentication, also with a complete email as user name. The latter is managed in a special way in my code. To use smtp authentication specify the smtp server prefaced with username and password in the following way: Normal smtp server: mai.libero.it Auth smpt server sample 1: io_gianni:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auth smpt server sample 2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sample use: m.server = "smtp.fastwebnet.it" m.sender = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" m.address = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" m.subject = "Test Email" m.body = "A very short body ...:)" m.attachment = "fileattached.zip" m.receipt_requested = .t. m.success = S_EMAIL(m.server, m.sender, m.address, m.subject, m.body, m.attachment, m.receipt_requested) HTH, Gianni ----- Original Message ----- From: "Whil Hentzen (Pro*)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu, 05 Apr 2007 11:52:39 -0500 Subject: Sending mail from VFP w/o mailto Hi folks, I have inherited (ahem...) an app that includes a rudimentary email function in one of its modules. It uses the 'mailto' and shellexecute functions in Windows, primarily because the app used to be x-plat and thus couldn't rely on Windows-only solutions. The Windows part of the call looks like this: m.mailcommand = "mailto:"; + m.realname + "<" + m.emailaddress + ">" + "?subject=" + m.subject + "&body=" + m.message declare integer ShellExecute in shell32.dll... declare integer FindWindow in WIN32API... =ShellExecute(FindWindow(....)) It works fine for short messages (@1000 bytes), but now they want to send big ol' messages, like 10K to 20K. This current mechanism is truncating those messages (I think at 1024.) My options are... Door #1: Find a way to use the current mechanism but allow it to use much longer messages -> that's your first question. Door #2: Find a different, Windows OS-only solution. Door #3: Incorporate a third party utility such as BLAT (which I've seen talked about here oodles) or ipstuff. It'd be great if I could just alter the syntax of the current mechanism to be able to include longer messages, but I don't know enough about how that works to determine if it's a native limit or something artificial imposed by this app. Whil --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/octet-stream --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
