Outlook MIME

[Ruegen]

Anyone know how to use MIME when sending emails (HTML) using outlook and VBA?



I need plain text as well as HTML and I can't find information on how to do that.

Here's VB code. Maybe it can be adapted for Access/VBA.

Yikes!

so if I create the two top Chilkat MailMan objects (new classes) I can use them to do this...

but I notice nothing about using outlook.

I guess if I can output the mime to string then append it to the html string it could work though I have never used MIME and not really sure about what it is I am doing.

I never heard of MIME until this thread - so blind leading blind? A quick search hit on that page.

The procedure is using code to work directly with SMTP. Much like Collaboration Data Object https://www.accessforums.net/access/...nding-216.html

No idea what will happen when you declare the mime and mailman objects. I am sure my Access does not have libraries for ChilkatMime and ChilkatMailMan2. No idea what 30-day trial is being unlocked.

Wiki has article on MIME. Something about MIME allowing 'multipart messages' - whatever that means.

Thanks for your help June7 - I'll update here if I end up getting it to work.

My basic understanding is that it is plain text that works in HTML so that junk mail filters don't automatically junk html emails (because they see the mime plain text).

This guy explains how MIME came about and how it is used in emails
