How to send email with an attachment, Visual C++ 6.x

[Harold DeWayne]

I know how to create a new email message addressed to myself in my
program using the following code

ShellExecute (GetSafeHwnd(), "open", "mailto:harold-...@juno.com",
NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

but can someone tell me how to attach the current file from the open
document? I'm currently using a CTreeView document, but all I want to
forward is the open document on disk (not the tree). I know how to
retrieve the document filename but attaching a copy of that document
to the email is beyond my current abilities.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use the following functions to send eMail and file
attachments in concert with a MAPI enabled mail client:

MAPILogon()
MAPISendMail()
MAPISendDocuments()
MAPIReadMail()
MAPIDeleteMail()
MAPISaveMail()
MAPILogoff()

Additionally, you can send eMail by using the SMTP protocol, the
exact name for this technology is "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol",
the SMTP server enables you to send eMail directly from your machine
withOut using your internet service provider's server machine.

Hope the following code helps, I use it working:
void SendEMail(
char *pszRecvAddress, //Email
char *pszTitle, //Mail Title
char *pszNotes, //Mail Content
char *pszFileName //attachment file name
)
{
if ((NULL == pszRecvAddress) ||
(NULL == pszTitle) ||
(NULL == pszNotes) ||
(NULL == pszFileName)
)
{
printf("ERROR:NULL on SendEMail Function parameter!!!\n");
return;
}

ULONG uRetCode = 0;
LPMAPISENDMAIL lpMAPISendMail = NULL;
HMODULE hLibMAPI = NULL;
MapiRecipDesc ReceiverInfo = {0, MAPI_TO, "", pszRecvAddress,
0, 0};
MapiFileDesc AttachmentInfo = {0, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, pszFileName,
"", NULL};
MapiMessage MailInfo =
{
0,
pszTitle,
pszNotes,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
MAPI_SENT,
NULL,
1,
&ReceiverInfo,
1,
&AttachmentInfo
};

hLibMAPI = ::LoadLibrary("MAPI32.DLL");
if (NULL == hLibMAPI)
{
printf("ERROR on Load MAPI32.DLL file!!! Cancel to auto send
mail!!!\n");
return;
}
lpMAPISendMail = (LPMAPISENDMAIL)::GetProcAddress(hLibMAPI,
"MAPISendMail");
if (NULL == lpMAPISendMail)
{
printf("ERROR on Get MAPISendMail Function Address!!! Cancel to
auto send mail!!!\n");
goto ERR_EXIT;
}

uRetCode = lpMAPISendMail(0L, 0L, &MailInfo, 0, 0);
if (SUCCESS_SUCCESS == uRetCode)
{
printf(
"Success to Send mail to: %s, Mail Title:%s, Mail
Notes:%s,Attachment file name:%s\n",
pszRecvAddress,
pszTitle,
pszNotes,
pszFileName
);
}
else
{
printf("ERROR:failed Send mail!\n");
}

ERR_EXIT:
if (NULL != hLibMAPI)
{
::FreeLibrary(hLibMAPI);
hLibMAPI = NULL;
}

return;
}
