You have 2 separate questions in this email. 1) Can you view the password? Hope not. Likely it has been encrypted via a hash, which is unreversable. If it has simply been encrypted then you could decrypt it if you knew the private key and had the appropriate algorithim.
2) Why didn't it send an email? Probably nothing to do with the encryption. Could be the application isn't actually calling code to send an email. Could be that the application isn't talking properly to the SMTP server. The SMTP server is down. The recipient's server is blocking email from the SMTP server, etc. Best way to figure this out is start at the beginning. 1) is the app calling the code to send an email. 2) is it using the proper address, etc. On 2/22/07, Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, I have two problems but I will separate them with two different > posts.
