problems with email

[Antonio Linares]

Moises,

Try this:

"mailto:{0}?Subject={1}&Body={2}&Attach={3}"

Replace {n} with the values

Moises,

I found these in my notes (for MAPI). It may help.

-----------------------
If you specify a TO and the parameter is blank and you are using the FROM USER clause, the message compose box will not appear. Likewise if the filename is invalid or not found. It is best to use an error trap:

Code: Select all  Expand view

   DEFINE MAIL...
   ACTIVATE MAIL...

   IF oMail:nRetCode!=0
      MsgAlert("The message could not be sent due to an error."+CRLF+;
      "MAPI error code: "+ltrim(str(oMail:nRetCode)),"Alert")
   ENDIF

MAPISEND.EXE is a free program available here:

www.lexacorp.com.pg


Usage: MAPISEND /A address(s) [/N name(s)][/S subject][/B body][/F filenames(s)][/R][/E]

If name is included it must be give AFTER address. Filenames should include full paths, separate filenames with semi-colon(;)

If /R is included, a Response will be given indicating that a message has been sent.

If /E is included, the Email program will be opened with the Message available for editing. You can pass just /E and get an empy new message dialog.

If you don't use /E the mail is sent automatically and you will probably get a warning dialog from Outlook or OE, that mail is being sent. You can turn this off in OE under Tools-Options-Security; "Warn when other applications send mail as me."

Note: Don't use quotes around the path+filename.

/S - Subject cannot be longer than 23 characters. If so, mail progam doesn't run. Cannot contain slashes either (can use dashes).

This will work under XP (32 bit MAPI). It doesn't provide CC, BC, or return receipt (you can manually add those if you use /E).



Here is an example of how to use it from within FW:

Code: Select all  Expand view

/*
Purpose: Test using MapiSend.exe from inside FW
*/

#include "fivewin.ch"

function main()

   local cParams:=""

     cParams:= [ /E /A whoever@hotmail.com /S "Invoice" /B "See attached." /F c:\documents and settings\james\my documents\temp\test.html]

     // You can use shellexecute()
     //SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, "mapisend", cParams, 0, 1 )

     // You may use waitRun() instead. You will need to if you are mailing a temp file
     // and you want to delete it after mailing.
     waitRun( "mapisend "+ cParams)
     
     sysrefresh()
     
     msgInfo("")

return nil

[MOISES]

Antonio,

I am afraid your code does not work. It shows OK the destination, subject and body, but not the ATTACHMEND. Did you try it?.

Thank you

[James Bott]

Moises,

You must provide the full path to the attachment. Did you do this?

Also, if it has spaces in it, you probably have to use quotes around it.

James

[MOISES]

James:

You were right!!!. I must provide the full path, with letter.

But surprilingly, at the second time with wrong path it works!!!.

Thank you James for your help!!!.

Best regards,

[James Bott]

Moises,

Glad to hear you got it working. MAPI is a great tool, but it can be a pain.

James
