sending E-mail... the best way?

[Valuater]

as part of the ITS Project... i would like to include e-mail

i could really use some direction on which way is the best method

from herewasplato

BMail

Func SendIt()
    $S_bmail = "bmail.exe";full path to bmail.exe
    $S_SMTP_Server_switch = " -s some_server.domain.com"
    $S_TO_address = " -t some_alias@domain.com"
    $S_FROM_address = " -f AutoIt-Bmail"
    $S_Text_Subject = ' -a "some subject line text"'
    $S_Text_Body = ' -b "some body text"'
    Run($S_bmail & $S_SMTP_Server_switch & $S_TO_address & $S_FROM_address & $S_Text_Subject & $S_Text_Body)

Larry has sent e-mail through TCP with attachments... i would'nt want to overload our chat server.. buts its still an idea

because this will be placed on the end users computer... is there a way to use autoit code to automatically find the "mail system" used by the end users computer????

any help would be appreciated

thanks

or you could use inet and use the default e-mail client on the users machine (see the about in the ITS project)

btw, can you get in the other site?

[Valuater]

no... i am going to use the ITS project here to continue... see my last post

thx

edit

can you explain more about Inet???

[GaryFrost]

ok, well the inet.au3 are functions that were written to help with interent stuff

if you look in the client, about function you'll see _INetMail

which opens the default e-mail app on the users computer.

I used that in conjuction with a hyperlink label, also created a hyperlink image using the bmp that i created.

[GaryFrost]

btw, your last post with the script for the client was cut off, think only so many lines can be put in code box

you'll have to do attachment.

ok..

i cut-out that post and will re-post with your updated code and mine combined

secondly... inet

aol is my "main" email... the inet pulls up Outlook????

i never use outlook... but i wanted to test it and look for 30 minutes( this is going to sound real DUMB )

trying to get/find the "send" button... for proof, here the gui

??????.... man i feel stupid!

should be a send/recieve button, might have to go into tools, customize, commands.

don't use aol, more than likely it's not a client, but a web mail.

trying to get/find the "send" button...

You might be able to hit a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+Enter, or otherwise there should be something in the File or Actions menus.

[Valuater]

ok...

per gafrost i tried the tools, customize, commands....nada

per LxP i tried File or Actions menus..... nada

i had hope when i pressed "Ctrl+Enter", the screen disappeared... but after waiting 15 minutes... nada in my mail box

also

i would like to send the e-mail hidden... is that possible???

You could use VBScript, I wrote something a while back, but some mod or admin edited it to not work. But that may cause some virus alarms to go off since it's VBScript

[Valuater]

don't use aol, more than likely it's not a client, but a web mail.

i just noticed what gafrost said... is web mail possible hidden???

[MSLx Fanboy]

A CDO object is probably the test way to go, its all automated, no human interaction or external files required, and it can be customized by the user (the settings).

If you do use that code snippet above, you may want to remove that MsgBox error handler in the final release

...i never use outlook...

...trying to get/find the "send" button...

Google (outlook "no send button") and you get a lot of returns.

It seems that many things can cause this:

http://www.outlookmarket.com/faq/outlookto...px#nosendbutton

93.) I have no Send button in my Outlook 2003.

The Send button doesn't appear until you create a valid email account.

Other flavors of outlook - like outlook express might - have to be the default client before you get that button. Either way, I would think that you would have to tell whatever flavor of outlook that you have what server to send the email thru... if you "never use outlook" then perhaps this was never done.

later.....

I just realized..I downloaded an auto it mail program that sends mail to mx1 yahoo without login or password. Ouch. How do I know someone is not using that to send email from my account as well?

[theguy0000]

its the same as with php's mail() function, its pretty hard to know.
