Hello Stefano,

Nothing wrong with your English...but we do try not to use HTML when
posting in this newsgroup.

I send and receive emails successfully using the MailSend and MailGrab
shareware software available from Jim Lawless. Visit his website at

BLAT

Blat is a Public Domain Windows 95/NT console utility that sends the
contents of a file in an e-mail message using the SMTP protocol.

Download it from:

http://pages.infinit.net/che/blat/blat.html
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html

For blat support, you could try http://www.egroups.com/community/blat

From Clipper, just

command := "blat filename -to vali...@my-deja.com"
run(command)

works fine.


GETMAIL

http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/getmail.html

Getmail is free for non-commercial use. For getmail support community,
try http://www.egroups.com/community/getmail

I have tested Getmail from Clipper and command line, both okay for our
needs.

ENCODE/DECODE

If all you want is to encode/decode (no mail functionality builtin)
check out the following:

uudeview
<http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~fp/uudeview/>

mpack/munpack
<ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack/>

and there are many other encoders/decoders freely available.

OTHER

We use Pegasus Mail, and create a "queued email' format (prior to final
form), and run Pegasus (WIN) from Clipper to add to Pmail folders and od
the final format ready for the output queue. Also as we send
attachments, that (encoding) is left for Pegasus as well. This way, if
users are either on a dialup or 'dedicated' line, the email is sent
(finally) from Pegasus.

You might want to think of creating a similar method to create the email
in a queue, to be sent by your favourite emailer.

Hi there,

please comment out the "on error resume next" statement at the top of the
program so you get an alert box and termination of the script. Normally the
error will be logged in the log file - if its not then something REALLY
fatal happened.

Do you have Outlook installed and is it your default mail client ?

Don't use blank spaces in the SUBJECT & BODY command line arguments or they
will be taken as command line arguments also (and ignored)

Please let me know the error description when you remove the error
control...

regards

Manos,Greece
