I need to e-mail a file from within my app.
I need to use the default mail client.
First connect then send a file

I can use
Var
Command:String;
Begin
Command:='Mailto:m...@there.com?subject=test'
Shellexecute(.....

End;
This launches Outlook express or the default e-mail client
but I cant attach the file in code.

I tried fastnet nnmstmp but can't get it to work.
It won't bring up the connection to dial & if I launch it manually
although it says it sent the message they never seem to arrive
(It did work once but the message arrived next day. I suspect it was
re-routed)

Anyone got any suggestions or free/cheap components.
This is now a desperate situation!

you can't use shellexecute to send an email attachement.
you will have to use mapi instead.

you can use a nice MAPI wrapper:

I'm offline now, so I cannot check if it is correct, but try there:

If not, search for temail2.zip in DSP :)
