Eudora? Netscape? Mozilla? Pegasus?

You MUST have a mail client to send mail!

If for example you're with AOL, click on the "Write" icon, top left of screen - between Read and IM
Then "Do your thing".

Hi,

What you need is a SMTP mailer utility.
I have used the following Freeware program (Blat) - see
link below:

You can create a simple batch file to execute blat and
some command line parameters and then schedule this using
windows Task Manager.

Good luck,

Tim

If you have XP Pro, it comes with Internet Information Services, including the SMTP server. You can write a Visual Basic Script or EXE to send the e-mail, using the built in SMTP engine and Collaboration Data Objects (CDOSYS).

There are other ways to skin this problem, but if you have any
programming background, get Python (a terrific programming
environment/language, which is free) from www.python.org. It has the
necessary libraries and capablities to do this probably in just a few
lines of code. You then would use XP's scheduler to schedule the
operation at midnight. My recollection is that a program like this is
included the documentation as an example.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
