Hi folks,
I have a need to integrate e-mail support in my app, but I've hit a
hurdle with Cocoa's Message Framework API; specifically this API uses
Mail.app's settings to get its work done, so if the user uses another
e-mail client (and has never set up Mail.app) then the API doesn't
seem to send messages. Furthermore even if you have set up Mail.app,
if you use an address to send the message from which Mail.app doesn't
know about, it doesn't send the message.
So I'm after some suggestions as to an alternative e-mail API that can:
[1] Offer custom headers (i.e. I can add my own headers)
[2] Set what the sending address is
[3] Set the message's date/time stamp programmatically
[4] Send HTML as well as plain messages
[5] Send attachments
Does anyone know of a simple way to do this? End-user systems are not
in my control so I can't go installing extra stuff in their system to
use. I'm happy to wrap an NSTask around the command line if this is
the most suitable way?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give,
Ken
