how to send e-mails from a Clarion application

Hi
I have earlier seen, and tried, a 3. party tool for accessing Outlook,
so it was poasible to send and receive e-mails in a clarion application.

As I at that time didn't need it, I didn't keep it.

But now I need this tool (or a similar) but I can't find it. Can anybody
here help me?

It should be a template or something similar, which I can include into
my application.

I need first to be able to send e-mail to groups of customers, based on
a .tps I allready have.

Later I will need to be able to receive e-mails, extract the content and
add it to a .tps file.

If anyone knows about any template that can do this I will be happy to
know about it:-)

Henning:

NetTalk from Capesoft does this and a lot more.

It sends mail using SMTP. I've used this feature. It works very well.

I believe it can also recieve Email via POP3, but I have not used this
feature.

As for Extracting the content into a file I think you need to write
something that will do this.

What will be the format of this data? If it is coming from an EMail
how are you
going to control the format?

One more thing you need to be careful when you send a lot of emails out
at once.
If you do this someone may think you are sending SPAM. In my case my
customer is send them out one at a time and each one is different, so
it is not an issue. Usually they send about 50.

Good luck
