So yes, so then the mentioned service could be better. Unfortunately I don't know it it is possible to use it from Basic. IIRC Caolan McNamara ([EMAIL PROTECTED] should work) did the Python implementation and perhaps he can give you some tips. Alternatively, if sending a mail via Python is very easy someone could create another UNO service that just wraps the few Python calls with PyUno so that you can use it in Basic.

Anyone have an input on this service? This service is used for the MailMerge functionality in OOo. It is implemented in Python. From what I can see in the implementation in Writer it is much harder to use and perhaps not usable in Basic as it seems to require that an object is passed to the service that must be implemented by the client software. But admittedly I concur that from a first glance. But why is Simple(System|Command)Mail not enough for you?

That's what I suggested, put into Basic source code. :-)

What I can say is how we do it in the framework code: first ask for the SimpleSystemMail service and if you don't get one ask for the SimpleCommandMail service. This should work on all OOo installations where "Send document as mail" works.

You can find another example in my SnippetCreator wizard (module DlgSnippet -
Sub SnippetToEmail )
> Sub SendSimpleMail()
>Dim vMailSystem, vMail, vMessage

Regarding the problem that you mentioned in your follow-up I've just seen that
Mathias has alreadly answered.
I can only add that in the SnippetCreator wizard I've used the following
strategy:
'try to obtain a mail service
oMailService = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleSystemMail")
If IsNull(oMailService) Then
oMailService = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail")
End If
If IsNull(oMailService) Then
GoTo ErrH
End If

I don't catch this point (but I must say that I'm not very acquainted with
network things):
Even if you run an smtpd server from Python, the API relies on an external
mail client program for sending emails, therefore, the external mail client
should be previously configured for using your local smtp server.
So I don't see any advantages.

Hi Paolo,
In Barcelona I asked you about the possibility of using SimpleSystemMail
uno service to be able to send email from OpenOffice.org. The only
reference I got to how it works is through the snippet on Andrew
Pitonyak's Macro Book.
Sub SendSimpleMail()
Dim vMailSystem, vMail, vMessage
vMailSystem=createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleSystemMail")
vMail=vMailSystem.querySimpleMailClient()
I might add that this script fails when I reach this line with an error
message telling me that the object variable not set. Which leads me to
believe that querySimpleMailClient is not returning anything to define
vMail.
'You want to know what else you can do with this, see
'http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/system/XSimpleMailMessage.html
vMessage=vMail.createsimplemailmessage()
vMessage.setrecipient("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
vMessage.setsubject("This is my test subject")
'Attachements are set by a sequence which in basic means an array
'I could use ConvertToURL() to build the URL!
Dim vAttach(0)
vAttach(0) = "file:///c|/macro.txt"
vMessage.setAttachement(vAttach())
'DEFAULTS Launch the currently configured system mail client.
'NO_USER_INTERFACE Do not show the interface, just do it!
'NO_LOGON_DIALOG No logon dialog but will throw an exception if one
is required.
vMail.sendSimpleMailMessage(vMessage,
com.sun.star.system.SimpleMailClientFlags.NO_USER_INTERFACE)
End Sub
However I want to know if I would need a transport on my system so the
API is able to send the email. This is a similar dilema that I face
with python's libsmtpd module which is capable of working as an smtpd
server but there is really not much reference about how to run it.
What I am trying to achieve is the user be able to send a registration
email to the Mailing list from within openoffice.org. Maybe this could
help.
