I'm using the MailHost to send email from within an external method. I've tried a number of different combinations, including something as elaborate as this: self.MailHost.send("This is a test", # Body "To: Bruce Eckel <Bruce@EckelObjects.com>", "From: Bruce Eckel <Bruce@EckelObjects.com>", "Test Email") # Subject However, I can't seem to get the "to" and "from" fields to show up right in the resulting email. All I end up with is a 'to' field of Bruce@EckelObjects.com and an empty 'from' field. I suspect others have done this before and solved the problem. Or will want to :-) Most current information can be found at: http://www.mindview.net/Etc/notes.html =================== Bruce Eckel http://www.BruceEckel.com Contains free electronic books: "Thinking in Java 2e" & "Thinking in C++ 2e" Please subscribe to my free newsletter -- just send any email to: join-eckel-oo-programming@earth.lyris.net My schedule can be found at: http://www.mindview.net/Calendar ===================
