Need for commands for receiving attachments from program..

[Jigar Mehta]

Hye friends!!!
Jigar Mehta from India. Currently making one program in VC++ like
outlook express that sends and receives mails from the server (pop3, and
smtp server only)... I can not find commands that are needed for
communication with server for receiving a mail with attachment..

Currently I am able to get the mail without attachment (through socket
programming only).. So, please help me if you know any reference from where
I can get the information...

Thank you!!

http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~nifty/work/encodings.html is a decent
start to understanding email attachments. It contains links to the relevant
RFCs.
