The easiest way to find out if and how (proxy, ras...) you are connected to
the Internet,
without the overhead of installing components, is the following:
--> Snippet
USES
WinInet;
..
..
function InternetConnected: Boolean;
{
INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM = 1; // local system uses a modem to
connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN = 2; // local system uses a local area
network to connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY = 4; // local system uses a proxy server to
connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY = 8; // local system's modem is busy with a
non-Internet connection.
}
VAR
dwConnectionTypes : DWORD;
BEGIN
dwConnectionTypes :=
INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM +
INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN +
INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY;
Result := InternetGetConnectedState(@dwConnectionTypes,0);
ND;
<-- Snippet
dwConnectiontype holds the appropriate flags after the call. This snippet
comes from

As far as I know, WinINet is part or Internet Explorer. It may not be on
all system and do do recognize third party internet stuff.

I'm new to the list and I couldn't therefore answer this before.
Anyway, instead of using Delphi internet components, it si much
better to use ICS that can be fount at:
http://www.rtfm.be/fpiette/indexuk.htm
They're all Delphi native components, full source code and
support (mailing list) provided. And it's all free (you only should
send a postcard to Francois Piette).
*****************
One way to send email from your application is with a component called
URL. You fill in some properties and with its Execute method it launches
the user's preferred email client.
I believe I found this on the Delphi Super Page
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/archive/delphi/
The author of the component can be reached at ameeder@dds.nl

I find the one that comes with Delphi works OK. However, I use it mainly for
local viewing only. To browse the internet I use TWebbrowser, also available
on your system.

Check out THTMViewer by David Baldwin... mostly VCL with a DLL from Skyline
Tools at http://www.pbear.com

The newest version of Perl for Win32 works quite closely with Windows.
It can (I believe) use ActiveX, and has a built-in scripting module that
can be called from other programs. Best check for yourself, though.

ALSO -take a loot at Dream Controls. It is possible to execute not just Perl,
but JavaScript, VBScript and others.
Sorry, I don't have the URL here.
