Hi,
I asked recently about accessing port 110 using VFP to be able to parse
email in a POP3 account before it was downloaded to a client. I got some
great help on the Winsock control which did the job well. Couple of
questions:
Any ideas how to cleanly disconnect? The POP3 server keeps the connection
open for a period of time if I use the Winsock Close() method, and VFP hangs
for a similar period of time if I issue a POP3 "QUIT" command. This is just
annoying, not important.
Now I can access POP3, and can send email in various ways (using BLAT for
this, but CDO and wwipstuff are other SMTP based options), I wanted to see
if I could write a basic email client using VFP. All works well so far
unless I want to reply to an HTML email. In OE or Outlook, you click "Reply"
and you can type your reply into what looks like an edit box, but with the
original HTML nicely rendered below. Can this be done in VFP? I can display
the original HTML using the Web Browser control, but I'm a bit stuck on
creating an interactively editable browser object.
I'm only doing this as an experiment. It's non-production, but would welcome
any help.
