How do I send attachment Files in Indy?

[James Williams]

Hello,

I am using Indy 10.1.5.

How to I add an attachment to the TIdMessage. For example, if I want to
send abc.xls excel file as an attachment to a message, how do I do this?



Thanks,

James.

TIdAttachmentFile *attachment = new
TIdAttachmentFile(IdMessage1->MessageParts, "c:\\folder\\abc.xls");
// set additional properties of attachment as needed...

How does one get to the file stream so that it can be save once it has been
received in a TIdMessage using the IdPOP3? Is there a save function,
because I am not clear on how this works. I see the SaveToFile but it uses
StoredPathName which would be the path from the receiver end, unless I am
mistaken.

Thanks,


James

TIdAttachment has a SaveToFile() method.

See above.

Yes, you are mistaken. StoredPathName is the local path and filename of the
tempory file that the attachment data was downloaded into.
