Overview

The Mail Message class provides an interface for composing and processing e-mail messages and newsgroup articles which are structured according to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard. Using this class, an application can easily create complex messages which include multiple alternative content types, such as plain text and styled HTML text, file attachments and customized headers.

It is not required that the developer understand the complex MIME standard; a single method call can be used to create multipart message, complete with a styled HTML text body and support for international character sets. The Mail Message class can be easily integrated with the other mail related protocol libraries, making it extremely easy to create and process MIME formatted messages.

SocketTools also includes a class for managing a local message storage file that can be used to store and retrieve multiple messages. Methods are provided to open and create storage files, add, remove and extract messages from storage, and search the stored messages for specific header field values. For more information, refer to the CMessageStore class.

Requirements

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any programming language that supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.

This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical updates to the Windows operating system be installed.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your application executable. If you install the library into a shared location on the system, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it should be registered as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
