I have a small light-weight winform app (C# .NET 2.0) that does some
web-scraping and, under certain conditions, needs to send a plain-text
e-mail.
This is simple for mail servers that don't require authentication, but my
own mail server (GoDaddy) does, and I want it to work with such servers.
What I want is for the application to invoke the default mail handler on the
user's machine exactly as using the 'mailto facility in HTML will.
And I don't want to have to build in username/password entry fields that
will add a real security burden.
I've looked at all the smtpmail and mailmessage code on CodeProject, hunted
through the MS newsgroups, and I am assuming right now this cannot be done
for security reasons.
But I wonder if some kind of "hack" like putting a WebBrowser control in and
trying to use 'mailto on a composed link in its hidden HTML might work.
Outlook automation would be another avenue of approach, but I'd like to stay
away from being locked into that application being present.
Appreciate any suggestions !
