It works now like a charm in my XP SP2!!!
Smuuuuak Gnozal

Now it works fine on Vista!

One more point.
From the manual:

Attachements :

- no file attached : Attachements.s = ""
- 1 file attached : Attachements.s = "Filename"
- X files attached : Attachements.s = "Filename1;Filename2;...;FilenameX"

But in windows a file name can contain ';' character and that is an inconvenience. Perhaps another separator character like #LF$ or so :roll:

Thanks for the great lib!
Works like a charm on W32, XP Prof, here!

Version compiled with PB4.20 beta 1 : http://freenet-homepage.de/gnozal/PureSMTP___.zip (not tested).

seems to be ok now

THANK YOU

this is a really nice lib
very easy to use
I am impressed with how you make your tools powerful and yet easy to use

Anyhow, enough of the sweet talk

I have a simple question

When using the
PureSMTP_OpenSMTPConnection
with PureSMTP_SetAttachmentCallback

How do you abort an email which is being sent?
I tried closing connection....but got some really nice crashes

cheers
and keep up the good work

You can't.
The callback is only to show the progression, I didn't think about aborting the mail. Why would you ?
I guess I could stop sending the mail, but I don't know how the SMTP server would react if I send 'end message' while sending an attachment : would he abort the message, send the message without attachment, send a corrupt file ?

I understand your point
but there must be a way how to close a connection cleanly?
when I try CloseConnection...as I mentioned earlier....I just have a hangup

If you close the connection in the callback (not expected !) the next SendNetworkData() call in the PureSMTP_SendMessage() loop will fail (no current network ID) : so crash.

how does outlook do it?
Ie if if sending a large email, and you press cancel, you get lots of red crosses, but email is aborted
I'd like to reproduce that effect if possible with your library
can you guide me on what I should do?

You can't do anything.
I have to modify the library...

Update (PB 4.xx versions only)

Changes :
- enhanced function PureSMTP_SetAttachmentCallback()
If the callback returns #True (<> #Null), the PureSMTP_SendMessage() function aborts and closes the connection to the SMTP server.
The message is not sent and PureSMTP_SendMessage() returns #PureSMTP_Abort error.
