Hi,

I need to implement e-Mail sending and receiving into a xBase++ application.
Until now I am very new to problems like this. I have ASINET in my 
subscription, and while reading in the asinet NG nearly every question 
concerning e-Mails with ASINET is answered with "use SEE4XB" to do the job. 
This is not very encouraging.
Anyway, I checked Marshallsoft homepage and downloaded the trial. It seems 
to be much more I get with ASINET, but the samples as far I tested them are 
also only some partial work.

What I need is
1) a possibility to create Mails (textmails can be done in the simpliest way 
with MLE, but how do you create HTML-Mails? Is there a html-editor that can 
be integrated) and send them to a specified mailadress oder send it like 
mailmerge in M$-Word to a group of mailadresses.
2) a possibility to receive mails and store them in a certain way 
(memo-field in a DBF?) so that it can ve viewed if I view the customers 
adress data. So again I  need to view either text or html.
3) a possibility to resend received mails to another adress.

I think Im able to handle most of the "surroundings" about it, but I never 
handled e-Mails so my question is, if somebody can give me some help what I 
have to do to get it running. Eihter completely with ASINET oder with 
SEE4XB.
Something in the way
1) do this (check example.prg to understand the topic)
2) do the next ... (check next example to understand...)
and so on.
Especially the points view and create html-mails I would be interested.

Thanks in advance

Klemens

Hi Klemens,

I use SocMapi.  It's really easy and includes the ability to send with 
attachments to multiple recipients.  I tend to use PDFs vs html.

Hi, 

first of all, if you can read and write in german, have a look at
www.xbaseforum.de, we had some discussions about that  

I use ASINET for years to build and send automatic emails out of my programms.
This is the right way for errormessages from my programs back to me or
backgroundmail from a company, not a person, like eMail from a web server program.

SocMapi is better, IF the user wants to send emails over his lokal installed
email programm.

SEE4XB seams to have more functions in reading, maybe in sending eMails, but
ASINET is very easy to use and if you have it, why not to use ?

To send an HTML eMail is - as I know - only to create the TEXT in HTML format
and send it. If you want to use a different email for reply-to, you only have
to set the metastatement. You have to set the date too in the actual version
of ASINET, because it is not sometimes wrong:

   oMail:addHeader( "Date", TimeStampSMTP() )
   if ! empty(cAntwortAdresse)
      oMail:addHeader( "Reply-To", cAntwortAdresse )
   endif

Hi,

The Asinet Library comes with a sample for sending html e-mails. This sample
shows how to send html content that was created by saving a Microsoft Word
document as html file.

The tricky thing at this place was to restructure the html in a way so that
the bitmaps are send as inline MIME parts.

ASINET is very basic ... after having used see4xb, I would never use
anything else.

I also use SEE4XB and works well,
BUT I can't make work with hotmail/live

See4xb support told me to look att stunnel, but
not succeded.

That's ok for me, I just use it for sending systememails or mails out 
from a web server.
