[MAXGUI] Open E-Mail + add file attachment?

Hi again!

Is it possible to open up a user's default e-mail client, start a new mail to a certain address and add a file as attachment?

Grisu

you can do all that without a mail client...

and would probably be more cross platform

If you have firefox you can see the format in firefox's InBox flie (its just ascii text including the attachment that converted)

also check out the rfc's that will tell you about the email protocols

you might even want to release it as an emailer module!

I don't want it that complicated.

Just a similar feature as "mailto:g@..." " in html code.

I have a DLL I use for this exact thing in PBEM games I make. It works with outlook, thunderbird and most other email clients I have tried it with.

Dlls have the ability to crash blitz apps and are in most cases difficult to port over. I was hoping for a bmx gui solution. Seems I have to dream on...

Depends on who writes the DLLs ;c)

Works fine with B+ & B3D. I haven't tried it with BMax, but it should work fine with BMax too, as it has worked fine with any language I have used in the past.

Bmax can call DLLs, if you don't want a DLL, you have to dig through MSDN and find out how to do it via API calls.

What's this dll, Kuron? Something you downloaded? Something you wrote yourself? Is it available?

It is a PBEM DLL that I wrote and released right after I bought B+ years ago. It works fine, no bugs, etc. If somebody can find it, they are welcome to use it.

I haven't lost it or anything. But I can't release it or the streaming OGG dll I have been working on for BMax.

Does anybody know where I can get this DLL??

Nope.

Give me a week to get caught up on some other things, redo the docs and finish my site and I will rerelease the DLL.

Thanks man, that would be great.

Thanks

Yeah Thanks Kuron.

Though without a dll it would be still better... ;))))))))))
