Sending mail with SMTP and IP address only

[_henry_]

Hello all,

Is there a simple good email client that can support SMTP and IP address directly without having to deal with "security warning" pop up?

I prefer not to use MS Outlook as my default email client.

Thank you.

There are mail clients that can be run from the command line in XP. Here are two:

mutt: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html

and bmail: http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htm

They are both free. You could use a shell plug-in to run these. Better might be to use vbscript which you can learn about (by example) here:

Looks like, from one of the examples, that what you need might be possible using just vbscript,

Hi,

Thank you for your link. I will read them up. About VBScript, last time, I read Allen's article (aholtzapfel) about using VBScript to send mail. However, that script would be good only for MS Outlook. Will VbScript be good for the rest of email clients? Or what syntax would I need to change in order for Outlook Express to work (as an example)?

By the way, here is the link to the forum:

Thank you for your link. I will read the blat. I am thinking this program is the closer for what I want.

Thank you and I will let you know if I got some difficulties. -)

Hi,

I want to know if Blat can attach the file only without reading the content of attachment? If yes, could you please give me a sample of the coding?

Moreover, if I want to attach more than one file and attach more than one address in "TO section." How can I do it?

Thank you in advance.

Scroll down to attachment and encoding options.

Hi,

Thanks for the link. I tried to do like this:

blat c:test.txt -to [email protected]

It will read the content of C:test.txt, right?

Can I make Blat not reading my c:test.txt content?

Thank you for the answer.
