| Author | Forum: PowerTCP Mail for ActiveX Topic: SMTP - using Send v QuickSend |
| Stephen Cheek mail@stephencheek.com From: Colchester, United Kingdom Posts: 4 Member Since: 02/05/05 |
posted February 5, 2005 10:24 AM I have just started using PowerTCP Mail Tool in VB6. All seems fine & using the SMTP tool I can easily send messages with attachements using the QuickSend method - absolutely no problems. However, if I use the Send method instead, any attachments seem to be included TWICE, or even three/four times if I send consecutive messages, and any line feeds in the mssage body (using vbCrLf) are ignored. What am I coding incorrectly? Sample of my code: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Private Sub SendMessage On error Goto CloseOut With SMTP1 .Timeout = 10000 .Message.To.Add RecipientName .Message.From = Sender .Message.Subject = SubjectName .Message.Text = MessageText .Message.AddAttachment AttachmentName .Login ServerName .Send .Logout End with Exit Sub CloseOut: Smtp1.Abort End Sub >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |

posted February 5, 2005 10:39 AM You aren't resetting the message, so you keep adding the attachment. Also using your code, every address would get multiple copies except the last one. If you take a look at our sample SMTP client you will note that we call Smtp.Message.Content = "" prior to each send. |

posted February 5, 2005 11:03 AM Tony - thanks. Your advice has resolved the multiple attachments problem, but now I find that the received e-mail has nothing in the main message body. ANy further ideas? |

posted February 5, 2005 11:05 AM Do you see the same problem if you run our sample? |

posted February 5, 2005 11:20 AM Tony - running your sample is fine, so I have obviously not correctly used the various properties/methods etc somewhere along the line! I'll take a raincheck now & double-check all my bits of code against your sample to find out what's wrong. Many thanks for your help - if I have not resolved this by the end of the weekend I may be back, but I'm sure that will not be the case! |

posted February 5, 2005 12:12 PM In my reply, I said "prior to each send". If you did exactly that, then that may be the problem. I should have said "prior to contructing the message". Setting Content to "" clears the message of all content. I would still look at the samples though. |

posted February 6, 2005 10:29 AM Tony - I found that I had incorrectly copied/modified some lines of the sample code in my own test application. All now fine. In most cases of course I am using the QuickSend method, which seems to pretty well look after itself, but I was trying to get the Send method sorted out because it would seem that I have to use this in cases where I need to login to the SMTP server with a username/password (the QuickSend method does not have this option). Anyway, very many thanks for your fast, couteous and accurate advice. |
