Sending mail via Revolution enterprise

Post by titobal » Tue Sep 15, 2009 9:25 am

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to send an email via smtp/ssl using revolution.

I wish to be able to specify the following fields :

- From : email of the mailer person
- To : email of the recipient(s)
- Subject
- Content

It seems that revmail does not have the "From" argument...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out at Sarah Reichelt's SMTP library here: http://www.troz.net/rev/

revMail don't work in Windows XP and Linux

Post by Kristallprinz » Tue Sep 15, 2009 4:50 pm

Hello,

i use revMail under MacOS X and it works great.

-From is Standard, it is the Users mail-client
-To works
-Subject works
-Content works

But under Windows XP and Suse Linux no Mailclient starts.
In Windows XP i tested Outlook Express and Thunderbird

The Registry Key(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ mailto\ shell\ open\ command) is set

My Question:
How does revMail check the Mailclient in Windows and Linux and how can i set what revMail want to read?

A separate Library(like Sarah Reichelt's SMTP library) is not my prefered Intention. I want to use a simple eMail-Function in my Program only for Crash-Report and a simple Servicemail by the Mail-Client and Mail-Account of the User.

It would be great, if someone could help.

RevMail uses the default mail client. You can't select which client without changing the user's default settings. I just tested this to make sure and it does indeed bring up my defaul mail application on XP.
