I have an application written in Omnis Studio version 4.X. It has the ability to act as a email client but only supports simple password authentication. I can get around this on the Mac by using AppleScript to send the contents of the email, to & from addresses, et. from my application to Mail. mail then acts as the mail client and processes the emails.

I'm looking for a similar solution for my Windows users. Can TB accept a DLL message from another application as a way to pass an email from Omnis to TB?

Thanks,

Mike K

No Mike, whilst it is probably possible considerable development effort would be required.

Have you looked at thecommand line switches? perhaps they will do the job for you, but you still need to press the Send button to actually send the message.

Thanks Matt... Not what I was hoping to hear but the command line option would work after a fashion. I'll give it a try if I can't find another mail client that can do it more seamlessly.
