VdB-Mail

Almost every application nowadays has a feature to communicate via email. We dbase programmers depend either on the presence of an email programm like Outlook, Outlook Express or Thunderbird (there are many more), or on external packages like Funcky or Marshall-Soft. The VdB-Mail class is another way to implement mailing-features in your dbase application.

The functionality is implemented as a .NET-COM object, so it depends on the .Net framework at least in version 2.0. You need to register it on your machine and you can use it as an oleautoclient from within dbase...
