PureBasic Forums - English

Hello,

I need to create a prog for my job that would ask a few informations for email creation (recipients, object, email body and attachment) but I need to display it in my email client (should be Outlook 2003) before sending it.

I didn't find this kind of information in the help file. I use Purebasic 4.30.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pierre

You can do like this: Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but it should be better than nothing. More information here btw:
http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html or just Google mailto for help.

Thanks for this workaround, Joakim, but I was wondering if createmail would allow such an option ...

Regards,

Pierre

You could try and see which file formats does outlook read as email files and then write your email in a temporary file, then RunProgram() if the extension is correctly associated to outlook, you'll see it open in outlook.

It's a clean solution, otherwise you might have to use an interface or something nasty like that. I do hate temps, but many programs use them. You have to think whether it's worth spending 3 days working on a routine that will open your email in outlook or whether that time could be used for something a little bit more productive.
