C library to send email

What exactly do you have in mind ? If you already
have in some file the text you want to email then you
only have to use something like system("mail") or whatever
command your platform uses to send emails. But if you
want some library where you specify a file which will be the
body of the email plus additional files which will serve as
attachments and the library will combine those in a file which
satisfies the MIME protocoll then I don't know. Actually I'm
planning to write such a library myself eventually.

Why not just fish out the appropriate RFC and knock up your own?

SMTP? Two monkeys, ten minutes.

RFC821 is 67 pages. 10 minutes for 67 pages ?
I don't think so unless you're a rapid reading
wizard.

You can skip the boring bits. :-)
Seriously, SMTP is pretty easy. The hard bit of writing an email client is
/not/ the sending and receiving of email. It's all the stuff around the
edge - GUI, the various encodings, and so on. Sending the stuff is pretty
trivial. The protocol is a simple one.

Standard. Look up putc().

i know of libesmtp but i want a portable one that has bindings on
almost all the platforms(UNIX/WINDOWS). if there isnt a one i would

This C library allows sending e-mails with attachments.
It is designed to be easy to use and has been tested on Windows and Linux.

And if it's less than a million each why can't Google(TM) do it?

Some of the more common characteristics of Asperger syndrome include:
* Inability to think in abstract ways (eg: puns, jokes, sarcasm, etc)
* Difficulties in empathising with others
* Problems with understanding another person's point of view
* Hampered conversational ability
* Problems with controlling feelings such as anger, depression
and anxiety
* Adherence to routines and schedules, and stress if expected routine
is disrupted
* Inability to manage appropriate social conduct
* Delayed understanding of sexual codes of conduct
* A narrow field of interests. For example a person with Asperger
syndrome may focus on learning all there is to know about
baseball statistics, politics or television shows.
* Anger and aggression when things do not happen as they want
* Sensitivity to criticism
* Eccentricity
* Behaviour varies from mildly unusual to quite aggressive
and difficult

that's a "Useless Use Of cat". Any use of
cat filename | command
is better written as
command < filename
There's no need to invoke an extra "cat" command just to feed a
command's standard input.

Those on the right constantly remind us that America is not a
democracy; now they claim that Obama is a threat to democracy.
