detect mail/dialup

[Guest_imported]

Hi all,

I need to have my Delphi prog send a mail to the client. How do I automatiaclly detect the dialup and mail so that the user doesn't have to enter their server details. I just want them to click send and the email is sent to our client. Please help!

A quick and dirty way is to bring up the default email client like:

uses
    ShellAPI;
	
  ShellExecute(0,'open','mailto: someone@a_domain.com?subject=Your Email,NIL, NIL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

There's also a free COM Email DLL that I've used that works great at

.

Hope this helps,

Also lots of freeware components to do this try Torrys, VCLcomponents.com, Delphi superpage, etc.
Look for 'Winshoes' is an extensive libarary of comms stuff more than you need.
