Create an E-mail w/ attachment in Delphi 5

Is there a way to create an E-mail with an attachment using Delphi 5 and
send it out?  I've used ShellExec('Mailto:xxxxx') before, and that works OK
to a point, although, I've had some problems with it on some computers.  But
I want something that will work on any computer with E-mail.  On the FastNet
tab in Delphi 5, there is a TNMSMTP component, but I can't figure out how to
use that, or even if it will support a file attachment.

Can some one explain the TNMSMTP component to me, or suggest another way of
doing this?

Thanks,
-= Jesse =-

With NMSMTP, you need first to set UserID and Host parameter.
Then see what you have with NMSMTP.PostMessage.~~
I think it is ~.AttachFile or Attachment or something.

It is best to open nmsmtp.hlp from delphi/help.
You cannot get help automaticly by pressing F1 (if you not set that in
options)

Re:Create an E-mail w/ attachment in Delphi 5


I have a problem with the TNMSmtp component as well.

How do I know what to set the host and userid values to?

Any help will be appreciated

That looks like a SMTP user authentification. If your SMTP server does not
support or require it you can leave it empty. Some servers use the same
accounts for POP3 and SMTP to prevent spammers to user their server.

How did you do it using ShellExec('Mailto:xxxxx') ? I would like to use it
to send an attachment.

You can't use this to send an attachement.
