(Read down to the bottom before replying. :-))
Here we go. I get a pink dialog titled: MessageNotUnderstood:
deliverMailFrom:to:text:usingServe
It contains the following text.
SMTPSocket class(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
UndefinedObject>>DoIt
Compiler>>evaluate:in:to:notifying:ifFail:
PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>evaluateSelection
PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>doIt
[] in PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>doIt:
PluggableTextController(Controller)>>terminateAndInitializeAround:
PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>doIt:
PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>dispatchOnCharacter:with:
PluggableTextController(ParagraphEditor)>>readKeyboard
Here's the text of the code Mark sent:
SMTPSocket
deliverMailFrom: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
to: #(#'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' )
text: 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: "not listed"
Subject: this is a test
Hello from Squeak!
'
usingServer: 'king.tidbits.com'
I seem to have to select all (Command-A) to get that full error
message when I hit Command-D to Do It. Otherwise I get errors in
purple text right inline with the code snippet.
Oh wait, if I put the cursor at the end of the snippet, Command-D
doesn't give an error.
But it also doesn't do anything useful - there's no hint in my mail
server log that a connection is being attempted.
cheers... -Adam
