Hi all
We allow email to be created and sent from within our software using a POP3 component. Currently our emails are all plain text but our users would like to be able to do simple formatting (bold / italic / centred / fonts etc). I could easily whip up a RichText component to handle the formatting but how do I send it? Do I have to convert rich text to HTML? What is the easiest way to do this?
Yup, needs to be converted.
Unless someone knows a good html editing component, easiest is probably to limit the formatting you allow and parse the richtext yourself - ie just bold, italic and font or something.
There is some way of attaching a parser to a TRichEdit that'll convert everything, one of the Delphi mags has an online article about this.
Actually, the well-behaved way is probably using the default e-mail client if that fits with what you're doing.
And your component should handle mime / html.
Cheers, Kurt.
