Re: Sending email w/ attachments with Delphi 2?

Thanks to all of you who replied to my plea for help. This forum has always been very helpful and tolerant. The suggestions and leads provided for my "email with Delphi 2 problem" were all good ones that were well worth pursuing, even though a couple of them fizzled out. I finally got the problem solved, but I'm embarrassed to confess that it turned out to be pretty much of a self-inflicted problem. My request for help came after I found that the TurboPower (Orpheus) email component I was trying to use kept failing. I blamed the component and D2 but, in the end, I finally caught on to the real culprit. The failures were due to an erroneous configuration of Outlook on the ancient XP computer I was using. I used that computer many years ago to revise my Delphi 2 application and thereafter simply stored it away in a closet. I seem to have forgotten that since then I also moved and (blush) changed my ISP! Duh. When I tried out my newly revised D2 executable with the Orpheus email component on a few of my newer, properly configured computers that actually use my current ISP, I discovered the old Orpheus component works like a charm. I think maybe it's almost time to throw in the mouse.
