My question was based on Monte logic which is a bit like fuzzy logic but
more fluffy. Knowing that you can send a post message to a CGI script with
information to then be sent on in an email and also knowing that you can
write CGI in mc then I put 2 and 2 together and come up with 6 (It could be
done in one big script). As I said this is a learning process for me. ;-)

I don't quite understand your question before because you have to use a
server always. There are two ways (with some variants) to send e-mail from
within MetaCard

* Via a cgi (script) server -- you don't need an account for this one
  + From within MetaCard -- use a script like 1 (see below)
* Via a smtp server -- you need an account for this one
  + Via the standard e-mail client (like outlook)
    -- use script 2 (see below)
  + From within MetaCard -- andu made a nice one for this
    -- see http://www.cloud9.net/~undo

Is this what do you want?

Sjoerd

========== Script Nº 1 ==========
post "recipient_a=" & urlEncode(field "recipient_a") & "&destnumber=" &
urlEncode(field "destnumber") & "&subject=" & urlEncode(field "subject") &
"&originator_email=" & urlEncode(field "originator_email") & "&body_text=" &
urlEncode(field "body_text") to url "http://cgi.tpc.int/cgi-bin/tpcfax.pl"
if it contains "Your message has been sent by email" then
  answer "Message sent."
else
  answer warning "Er is een fout opgetreden bij het verzenden."
end if
========== Script Nº 2 ==========
put "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" into tUrl
  if platform() is "MacOS" then send tUrl to program "Finder" with
"GURLGURL"
  else launch tUrl with (word 1 to -2 of
queryRegistry("hkey_local_machine\software\classes\mailto\shell\open\command
\"))
