texte = Here is what I found out about Eudora Pro...The Eudora Folder is located in the system folder and it contains all the mailbox files. They are essentially text files formated at follows.

Subject: The Subject Message Cc: Bcc: X-Attachments: :MainDisk:381:somefilename: :MainDisk:10974:somefilename: Message-Id: Message Body xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxEND FORMATThe Out file located in the /System Folder/Eudora Folder/Mail Folder/ is a text file with as many of these messages appended together as are in the the Out mailbox (or text file). Eudora looks at this file to find messages to send whenever it is set to send them.1. It should be possbile to create and EmailOut folder on the server; 2. Place a text file the folder accumulate appended outgoing messages formated as above; 3. Create an alias called Out and put it in the /System folder/Eudora Folder/Mail Folder/ replacing the existing Out files found there; 4. When Eudora looks for the Out file it sends messages it finds.This sounds great, but I don't see any differences in the text of messages in line to be sent from others already sent. It seems I should have to distinguish them as queued messages, but it is not obvious how.I need to be able to send the message from using WebDNA from inside a page so I guess I would use the AppendFile context. I don't know about formatting etc. on outgoing messages this way.I still need to experiment to see if I can get this to work. If so, it means you can send messages with all features of Eurdora including attachments, encryption and richer formatting. That's right, the other formating codes for Bold, Italics etc. all are available to put into messages (graphics too I think). This would make outgoing email much more potent.RH Prouty bristol@interpage.net>>I have been following this thread... >> >>I own Eudora Pro and I am interested in knowing HOW to use it instead of >>the Emailer application.
