Vorleak ... if English is not your first language, not a problem. Examples (unverified):
Oscar Wilde: "The Canterville Ghost" (1887), wrote: 'We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language'. George Bernard Shaw said: 'England and America are two countries separated by the same language'. Bertrand Russell (Saturday Evening Post, 3 June 1944): 'It is a misfortune for Anglo-American friendship that the two countries are supposed to have a common language'. This is the question that I think you are asking: You want to create a program to send e-mail. {{{ this has been done many times in many languages }}} You will likely use SMTP. {{{ other choices are possible, some are expensive because they are proprietary }}} Ideally, and programatically, you would like the e-mails that you send automatically to get through spam filters. {{{ AFAIK, this is possible ONLY with the the cooperation of your intended recipients. Example: you could have a field called specialCode As String. Each recipient could have her/his own special code, thus: To: John Warner Subject: (JW99a) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. --- Vorleak Of course, you may need John's cooperation. John simply might add your e-mail address to his address book. Or he might create a rule such as "if subject contains '(JW99a)' then ... ". The problem is, even if your recipient cooperates, his network administrator may be running a mail filter that is kicking out your e-mails as spam. Even with the network administrator's cooperation, your e-mail could still get flushed upstream by the ISP's network filtering. Because of many factors, including e-mail client software like Windows Mail and Outlook creating false spam positives, you are not likely to be successful if your goal is to reach many people hosted on many different networks. ) }}} regards, gerry =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
