If you want to use Outlook:
loOutlook=CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
loMsg = loOutlook.CreateItem(0)
loMsg.BodyFormat= 2
&& olFormatHTML
loMsg.HtmlBody="<p>HTML body text</p>"
loMsg.Body = "Plain body text for clients without HTML mail support."
loMsg.Subject="Subject"
loMsg.Recipients.Add("some...@somewhere.com")
loMsg.Recipients.Add("some...@anotherplace.com")
loMsg.Attachments.Add("attach1.txt", 1)
loMsg.Attachments.Add("attach2.txt", 1)
loMsg.Attachments.Add("attach3.txt", 1)
Try
llSent = loMsg.Send()
Catch to loException
&& handle it
Finally
release loMsg
release loOutlook
Endtry
HOWEVER
There are some drawbacks to this.
- Despite it sending via Outlook, you will find that any Outlook signatures or
stationery that would normally apply won't get used on the programmatically
created message.
- You may find that the dread Outlook security message ('A program is trying to
send mail on your behalf...') will crop up, depending on Outlook and Exchange
Server version.
