Hi All,

This is about 3rd party SMTP libraries to send e-mails.

I am working on a presentation disc - so my stack lives on a CD and accesses media files on the CD. I want to incorporate a card where the user can send an e-mail directly from a field on that card.

I know how to load and launch the user's default mail program with the desired address and info already filled in - but I don't want to use that feature. I want the user to send the message directly from the provided field.

I understand from a Rev tutorial that there are some 3rd party SMTP libraries to do this. Can someone recommend the 'best', easiest, most reliable?

Cheers,

P

Hi, in RevOnline you'll find Andre Garcia's SMTP RawHTML stack under User Spaces>Utilities>HTML Email Sender (or under the Username SoapDog). I can't seem to find Chipp Walters altEmailHarness there any more but it was until fairly recently I believe. It's a wrapper based on Shao Sean's libSMTP (which uh.. used to be available at http://shaosean.tk but now seems unavailable). Then there's Sarah Reichelt's SMTPlibrary which you can find at http://www.troz.net/Rev/libraries.php

Hi SparkOut,

This might sound like a silly question... but, what is RevOnline? and where can I find it?


Cheers.

Hi Peter,
If you open rev you'll see a Rev Online icon in the toolbar, next to the documentation icon. It's an online resource for Rev users to use for storing/sharing stacks for development/test/educational purposes, sort of. Click the Rev Online icon and it will open a little stack "viewer/browser" for the online content.

Ooops!

Thanks SparkOut. It was right under my nose all this time... and the bonus is, I've also found a whole lot of other useful information

Thanks!
