There are a lot of variations around the EMail theme... If you are
looking for internet like EMail, then you need a SMTP component (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol). I made one which is freeware, include full
source code and is part of the ICS collection. Download source code from
http://www.rtfm.be/fpiette/indexuk.htm and look at MailSnd sample
program.

You could also try the Internet components at this site :

I found the SendMailDialog very easy to use ...
e.g.
with SM do
begin
SMTP_Server:=MainForm.SMTP_Server;
From_Name:='"'+StaffTblST_Name.Value+'"';
From_Address:=StaffTblST_eMail.Value;
Subject:=DealNo;
ListTo.Clear;
ListTo.Add(MainForm.POSADMIN+'|POSADMIN');
StaffTbl.FindKey([DealSelForm.wwQuery1DH_Dealer.Value]);
ListTo.Add(StaffTblST_eMail.Value+'|Dealer');
MailText.Clear;
MailText.Add(ReasonStr);
Attachments.Clear;
Attachments.Add('c:\autoexec.bat');
Execute;
end;
It brings up a dialog box that shows you a gauge with the time left to
send ...

OR
Charles,
Look for the TEmail component from (I think) the DSP. It handles email
through MAPI and will handle attachments according to the documentation.

SEND EMAIL VIA THE DEFAULT CLIENT
Try this. I got this from this list in March but have not tested it myself.
Certainly there is a lot of confusion in this area
mailto:username@domain&body="c:\autoexec.bat"
This format was also suggested
mailto:username@domain?subject=Attachment Example&body="c:\autoexec.bat"
HTH,
Stephen
BUT
If you want to attach files, then you have to use MAPI. All Microsoft email
clients support MAPI.

Are you willing to try other e-mail components..? If so, you could use
something like Mail2000 which you will be able to find at Torry's Delphi
Pages (www.torry.ru).
