    Post Simple SMTP_SSL with console mailsend

    Hello,
    to all.

    My first posting is a short console solution, inspired from a
    existing VB-script.
    Realized with an minimalistic code skeleton for proofing
    and demonstrating the idea.

    The simple recipe: iDispatch is used. ;-)
    So the VBS code needs only smooth changes to work within Thinair. ;-)

    - What we do:
    We send a mail message via console without using Thunderbird, Outlook,
    etc. mail clients
    To realize this i use mailsend, a free console textbased mail client.


    Necessary steps..

    1.)
    look at:
    https://github.com/muquit/mailsend/releases/
    https://github.com/muquit/mailsend/#features

    2.)
    Download mailsend v1.19 - Latest stable version
    mailsend1.19.exe.zip - zipped windows binary.

    UNZIP it in drive:Dir\path of your choice.
    If you wish, rename it to MS.EXE (no must, but it's handy)

    3.)
    Adjust the variables for SMTP-Mail and the above (2.))
    Drive:Dir\path combination to your situation.
    See the comments in the source file.

    4.)
    Feel free to modify and use
    Thinair - hit F5 - should do the rest

    Stumbeling...
    In Line 83 i have a litte problem with the OS_Shell command.
    The Body is cutted after about 240-250 chars length.
    The "pure VBS solution" , see line 86 seems to work.
    Any idea ?

    Thanks

    Ben

    just an idea (I'm a newcomer at ThinBasic) : have you try with OS_ShellExecute ?

    hInstance = OS_ShellExecute(Open, MSendeApp , SendMail_Wrapper, "c:\skripte\",%SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

    Hi Ben,

    thanks a lot for this great entrance in thinBasic.

    I didn't know about MailSend, it can be very useful.
    thinBasic has a SMTP module but MailSend support ESMPT and IPV6
    Very compact, I will study it.

    And yes, thinBasic has OS_Shell functions but the use of iDispatch is great.
    I like the idea to use all the tools that are available and find different ways to do the same things.

    I will check OS_Shell limitations, maybe I can improve command line max number of chars

    Ciao
    Eros

    I've developed a new Shell function without command line limitations.
    It will be a new keyword directly in Core engine of thinBasic so no need to load OS module to use it.
    Will be present in next release.

    Ben, thanks for spotting it
