poolgun, more info is needed,what are u trying to send? is it an email?,do you recieve the file from someone?.Thnx
 
It is only an email with one attach file to my customer.

Not form someone else.

Thanks!

poolgun,
google for 'blat' like previously suggested. then you do not even need to open your email client - can be done as a scheduled task.

How should I do in scheduled task, cause my os is win98 se.

Thanks!

Dan
 
longhair,
don't have win98 in front of me now, but should be able to get to one this weekend. should still have scheduled tasks, though. try looking in the control pannel.
how does this pc send mail? pop3 or are you in a domain with an exchange server?

regards,
longhair
 
poolgun,
not sure if blat will work then. is the pop3 account with an isp? is the line to the pop3 mailserver always open?
regards,
longhair
 
pop3 account not with ISP, but always open.

Thanks!

Dan
 
poolgun,
scheduled tasks should be located:
start, programs, accessories, system tools, scheduled tasks.
like i said not sure if blat will work with pop3 but it should be covered in the documentation.
regards,
longhair
 
I try the scheduled task, which does not work for email sending.

Thanks anyway!

Dan
 
I've download it to my pc, but still learning..

Dan
 
For another option to try. Not sure if it works with 98se though.

go to this website and download the ansmtp installer (link on page)
go to the directory where you installed the ansmtp
(default is C:\Program Files\AdminSystem.NET\ANSMTP)
go to samples\vbs scripts
right click and edit the sendmail.vbs.
right at the bottom of the script is information you need to edit. the line is 'send. the first quotations is the sender, second quotes is the recipiant, third is the subject, fouth is body, last is the SMTP provider (can be you ISP provider).
change the values as needed and test by double clicking.
when you have changed the info don't forget to remove the ' in front of the send command.

To attach a file just remove the ' infront of oSmtp.AddAttachment "c:\test.txt" and put the path to your file in the quotation marks

now create either create a scheduled task to run this file or put a shortcut into you startup folder (under start).
