|
Method |
Explanation |
|
AddHeader |
Adds a custom header to the email. Be careful when using this function, as incorrectly formed headers could prevent the mail from being sent. The Reply-To header is an example of a header that can be set via this method. |
|
ClearHeaders |
Clears any custom headers that have been added with AddHeader. This would be used if you were sending more than one message (you put this call between your sends). |
|
SendMessage |
Send the email that has been configured with the options. The function will return zero for failure and number greater than zero for success. |
|
SetDefault |
This will clear all previous settings to default. If sending multiple emails, use this between the calls. |
|
AddAttachment (Filename, AttachmentName) |
This will add an attachment to the message being composed. The first parameter is the Path to the file that you want to attach to the message (eg: C:\My Documents\test.txt). The second parameter is the name that the attachment should have when read via a mail client (eg: test.txt) |
|
ClearAttachments |
This will remove all attachments from the message being composed. |
By setting the ContentType value to text/html, the component will generate a HTML and Plan Text representation of your message encapsulated in MIME format. You need only to set the ContentType property to text/html and, when the SendMessage method is called, the component generates the MIME encapsulated message with a multipart alternative content boundary. This boundary then contains respective text/plain and text/html boundaries. The mail client then determines which of the alternative content types it wants to read - based on the capabilities of the mail client or the users settings.
If you set the MessageBody and MessageBodyPlain properties of the component, it will not generate a textual representation of the message and will use the property value specified for MessageBodyPlain.
