Emailing a Text File - Automatically

[ibeetb]

Does anyone know how I can email a text file using Win XP by NOT using
Outlook or Express? I want it to be scheduled to automatically email itself
at a particular time.

Thank you

Outlook and Outlook Express are two popular E-mail clients, but
there are many others available. Many are shareware or freeware;
do a google search and download one or more to try.

I've done this in other languages but not those. It
should be easy. Look for an SMTP object/API and if you
can't fine one, just make a connection to the SMTP port.
The protocol will take you all of 5 minutes to implement
yourself. It's really not much more than to, from and
here's the message. (It's a simple human-readable text
protocol, which means you can practice it before coding
by just telneting to an SMTP server and typing at it.)
