User's Mail EditorI am using the following code that I got from this newsgroup to start a
user's default e-mail editor and it works ok. However, I would like to attach a file to the editor (like using word as editor) Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo psi.UseShellExecute = True psi.FileName = "mailto:" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode([To]) & "?subject=" & Subject & "&body=" & Message Process.Start(psi) What do I use for the variable (like &body is used for the text body)? -- Dennis in Houston Dennis,
You cannot using this method. You are absolute not the first one who ask this. This is code to call the default mail client, whatever this is even if it has no mailattachment as Outlook Express and Office Outlook have. Your solution for this is using the webmail, however than your user does not see the mail. Or Office Outlook interop. And than only users who have Office Outlook can use that I know it helps nothing however, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Dennis" <Den***@discussions.microsoft.com> schreef in bericht news:DFA5EA2C-9E20-4C5B-B4A6-20261685B58D@microsoft.com... >I am using the following code that I got from this newsgroup to start a > user's default e-mail editor and it works ok.

I've been searching Google and did find out
where this is not possible. Just one more question, If I read Google right, I have to have IIs installed on my computer to use the System.web.mail class for sending e-mail...is this correct? -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" wrote: > Dennis, > > You cannot using this method. > > You are absolute not the first one who ask this. > > This is code to call the default mail client, whatever this is even if it > has no mailattachment as Outlook Express and Office Outlook have. > > Your solution for this is using the webmail, however than your user does not > see the mail.

needed IIs. I currently have e-mail thru my service provider (roadrunner).. Apparently, I need also either IIs or Microsoft Exchange, IMail or someother relay in beween the roadrunner service and my vb.net application...Am I reading this correctly? "A relay is a service that allows you to send email. It is usually a full fledged mail server, or can be a specialized SMTP Service. Some examples of a mail server include Microsoft Exchange, IMail by IPSwitch, or Mail Enable by Mail Enable. An example of a SMTP service is the SMTP Service installed that can be installed with IIS. SWM sends email to a relay server, and the relay server is responsible for delivering the email to the final destination" -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" wrote: > Dennis, > > This famous pages for that. > > http://www.systemwebmail.net/ > > I hope this helps, > > Cor > > > Dennis,
You need one of those providers as you mention not all. I name it forever the ultimate spam engine. You can use one IIS SMTP Mail servers which you can create on one of your servers (or desktop that functions as this) and take its IP addres. You create it using in the configuration at that special Microsoft Windows tab at installed software and in that the IIS part. (very simple to do just checking the checkbox for that). Most IP providers don't like it if you take their SMTP server. You don't need Exchange for this. Morevover if you have Exchange it is more work to use. You should create your own loging because without Exchange there is nothing logged to who you have sent a mail. I hope this helps, Cor I think you can accomplish this via MAPI (MSMAPI32 ActiveX controls). MAPI
will use your default e-mail editor (Outlook, Outlook Express.... even Yahoo web mail if you install the Yahoo experience tools).

not sure what this is. I use Outlook to send e-mail thru my internet provider "Time Warner RoadRunner" and Word as my default e-mail editor. What else do I need to use MAPI? -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "CMM" wrote: > I think you can accomplish this via MAPI (MSMAPI32 ActiveX controls).

So I have checked this at Internet. I saw some things about Outlook Express, however I doubt it of the writters of that are not confused with Office Outlook, what started with that name from MS Mail 4.0 what had got than got the name MS Exchange and than the client who had forever had in all versions until 3.5 had the name Exchange became Outlook. It was a while very confusing to explain that. However as CMM has a good solutiong that real works on Outlook Express and by instance all Apple email clients, than we are probably all very interested. Cor I have confirmed personally that the mapi activex controls (msmapi32.ocx) do
indeed work with OE... in fact they work better with OE than with Outlook because of Outlook's Object Model Guard. MAPI (Mail API) was intended to be a "generic" interface into any "default" e-mail program on the computer... not just MSMail or Exchange based ones. (VB6 code using the two controls necessary) MAPISession1.DownLoadMail = False MAPISession1.SignOn MAPISession1.NewSession = True MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID MAPIMessages1.Compose MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = "some***@somewhere.com" MAPIMessages1.msgSubject = "My subject" MAPIMessages1.msgNoteText = "bla bla bla" MAPIMessages1.Send MAPISession1.SignOff MAPISession1.NewSession = False Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:uki8ZDwJGHA.3896@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Dennis, > >>I looked up MAPI and it infers that I have to have an exchange >>server...I'm >> not sure what this is.

account set up in OE and it needs to be your "default" e-mail program as per Internet Explorer's -> Properties (Options) -> Programs. If instead Outlook 2003 is the default, it triggers the Outlook Guard (not sure about Outlook 2000 or 2002). I dunno off the top of my head how to get around that... something having to do with adding a certificate or whatever.... I'm sure there's info on how to do it on the web. But it works for OE splendidly (WinXP SP2) Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:ugmNXcyJGHA.3932@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > CMM, > > Thanks, I will try it soon, > > Cor > > "CMM" <cmm@nospam.com> schreef in bericht > news:OmhM8%23xJGHA.1032@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... >>I have confirmed personally that the mapi activex controls (msmapi32.ocx) >>do indeed work with OE... in fact they work better with OE than with >>Outlook because of Outlook's Object Model Guard. >> >> MAPI (Mail API) was intended to be a "generic" interface into any >> "default" e-mail program on the computer... not just MSMail or Exchange >> based ones. >> >> (VB6 code using the two controls necessary) >> >> MAPISession1.DownLoadMail = False >> MAPISession1.SignOn >> MAPISession1.NewSession = True >> >> MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID >> >> MAPIMessages1.Compose >> MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = "some***@somewhere.com" >> MAPIMessages1.msgSubject = "My subject" >> MAPIMessages1.msgNoteText = "bla bla bla" >> >> MAPIMessages1.Send >> >> MAPISession1.SignOff >> MAPISession1.NewSession = False >> >> >> "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message >> news:uki8ZDwJGHA.3896@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... >>> Dennis, >>> >>>>I looked up MAPI and it infers that I have to have an exchange >>>>server...I'm >>>> not sure what this is.
