Hi all, I am using BCB6.Ent's SMTP components to send mail and attachments. So far everything looks good and works fine. Is there any short comings that I should be aware of that can be an issue in the future. I previously used BCB3.Pro NMSMTP but it was really buggy and hard to get working. By the way, better late than never, happy new year to all, and thanks again for providing me with timely and relevant advice and assistance. There are a lot of things that I just could not get going without the assistance of this group. May Borland and this group live 1000 years.

I've been using the NetMasters SMTP for over a year on my monitor server. I have not had any problems sending mail.

If you have an example of what you consider a complex email (.eml), could you please post it as attachment in the attachments group ? The most complex I can think of is a html mail with several attachments of files in different format. Hans.

Yes. Message parts can be nested several levels deep, and even contain
other embedded messages that have their own parts.

You can read the following article for an example:

Have you ever seen TNEF-encoded messages from MSOutlook? The entire message
(including attachments) is encoded as a single binary attachment that is
then nested inside a multipart message. When received, you have to parse
the MIME to get the TNEF attachment and then parse the binary data to
extract the original headers, body, and attachments.

Take the part between two boundaries and handle that recursive. > You can read the following article for an example: > > HTML Messages > http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/Blogs/RLebeau/2005_08_17_A.en.iwp Looking a few minutes in it it gave already a lot of usefull info. As I am in the process of decoding a mail in its parts a complex mail as example would still be interesting. > Have you ever seen TNEF-encoded messages from MSOutlook?

No. I have never heard of TNEF. Such an .eml mail as example would be nice. Is Outlook Express capable of sending such mails too ? Will google for TNEF soon. Thanks for the info. Hans.
