Hi Anthony,

CDONTS.NewMail is not guaranteed to be present on a machine. As far as I
know, it is installed with IIS and employs local SMTP server to send
e-mails. This scheme will obviously not work on a NT4 workstation. You will
most likely have to switch to CDO or even MAPI.

Hi Dmitriy,

thanks a lot for your reply,

can you point me to a direction to use CDO or MAPI ?
(a help referencd or a code snippet)

thanks again!
