OK, I know that but does it handle attachements too? If it does then this should be the way to go ;-)

I didn't mean that it should be sent directly from the desktop. Maby I didn't make this clear enough ;-) My implementation established a connection to the mailserver and sent it from that server. Which means that you would have to save the user account and credentials as well as the server name and port number. But since I've heared that there is a Gnome function to handle the problems with the mail clients it should be prefered to this method ;-) MFG Martin _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
