Hi

I wish to use mailto using the "EWB TLink" component to send an email.

eg. MyTLink.URL:=
'mailto:myemail@mydomain.com?subject=mysubject&body=mybody&attachment=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

the attachment path and file name seems to be the problem !

how is this constructed for it to work?

Assuming that the file is created on the web server
It should pick the file from the web server.

Is that possible ? Or is it just a local file thing ?, can you do both ?

thanks

Kamran

Kamran,

You can't send a file with an attachment like that.  It may work with certain mail clients, but I don't think it's a standard thing and probably isn't something that is allowed in all cases anyways due to stricter security standards.

Hi Tim,

Can you please share some code to send mails from a module (server)?

Thanks

That's beyond Tim's scope I would say. It depends a lot on what you
really want with email, things like retry, multiple destinations, copy
to admin. Perhaps the best I would expect would be a way to write the
destination address to the first line of a text file, and the body
following it, to a place on disk. Then anyone can have whatever they
want pick that message up and process it according to needs. (For my
server, not using the EWB service, I have a thread that tries to send
messages from a database, using the Clever Components email sending,
but retries etc are important).

If you're using the EWB Web Server, then you can use any Delphi code available for sending emails in a web server module, such as this:

As long as you strip out the visual stuff, you should be able to use that Indy code verbatim (minus any changes to Indy that may have occurred between when the article was written and now).
