Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Yeah, it's pretty cool but how do you mean you could mail as your boss? I can't get the Sender's and recipient's addresses to show up on the sent e-mails. It goes to where it's supposed to and the Subject line and message body are there but the "from" and "to" fields are blank.

I don't know why the addresses do not show up as they should. might be that your isp's e-mail server is stupid that it can't use the real e-mail address as displayname.... dunno. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Breaker Breaker Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-06-15 Posts: 268 Loc: Yorkshire, England	Just as an update to the intertwined discussion here about the limitations of the Outlook security update - here is the article I used to help me get around this for an Access application I wrote earlier this year. Q263297 - Admin Info about the Outlook E-mail Security Update There's a couple of links in the article telling you where to download the admin tools and how to set up the admin custom form for email security settings - v. useful if you have Exchange and have problems sending mail programmatically by automating Outlook in your scripts. Obviously there are other ways (Blat, Postie, direct telnet session to SMTP, etc) but sometimes its nice to leverage the framework that's already in place, using the otions to keep copies of sent mail, etc. By the way, Lonkero - is there anywhere you can point me to for an SMTP command reference? Thanks in advance! _________________________ ================================================ Breaker

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Read your Reference Lonkero and found this interesting tidbit in the Memo that the commands refer to: The second step in the procedure is the RCPT command. RCPT TO:"<"forward-path">" [ SP "<"rcpt-parameters">" ] The first or only argument to this command includes a forward-path (normally a mailbox and domain, always surrounded by "<" and ">" brackets) identifying one recipient. Could this be the reason I can't see the "to" and "from" fields? I'll give it a try and get back to you. Kirm P.S. I had to put qoutes on the command brackets or they are striped.

Immediately after the "DATA" and before you enter the blank line, issue the fields: code: From: Display_From_Name <from@address> To: Display_To_Name <to@address> Subject: Subject_Line Your blank line seperated the mail headers from the actual message. There are loads of headers for return receipts, MIME encoding and so-on.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks Richard. That's done it...at least partially. Here's my code: code: $r = $r +","+ SendKeys("DATA{ENTER}") Sleep 1 $r = $r +","+ SendKeys("From: Kirk <kirk@volvotruckcentre.com>{ENTER}") Sleep 1 $r = $r +","+ SendKeys("To: Captain Kirk <kirk@volvotruckcentre.com>{ENTER}") Sleep 1 $r = $r +","+ SendKeys("Subject: $subject{ENTER}{ENTER}") Sleep 1 And here's what comes out: From: Kirk [kirk unknown:volvotruckcentre.com] To: Captain Kirk It's definately picking up the aliases but is missing the actual addresses. Must be our mail server.
