No, it's not that I want to prevent Tuncay or anyone else to redistribute COM.ahk. I was just reminded by tank that I once urged to have only one source of COM.ahk in the forum, due to the update issue. However, it's been long after the last update and I don't think there will be any other update either, so it may not be an issue anymore. (I suppose that COM will be built into AHK_L sooner or later.)

Anyway, just don't post the link to other location and/or don't copy the whole contents of COM.ahk in the posted code in the forum. Other than those, it's all up to your decision.

Thanks a lot Sean, I promise to abide by those rules. I do have a question though. Sorry I am inexperienced with COM but if I made an EXE of it then would the emailer in another script be able to run on a computer without AHK installed? If not how can I do that? Thanks again.

COM would have to be part of the compiled script either by it being in the lib folder or via include for the cdo to function

i would like to have this script in a function form. Am i allowed to wrap it as a function and republish it as a library? Or do you want make an official one at your first post?

Yoy're Tuncay, right? If you put a proper credit, I don't have anything against it. And, no, I don't have a plan to update the code in the top post.

BTW, what will be the target(s) of the library? Only for the official build or also for AHK_L?

Yes it's me Tuncay. I can't login now.

I am using the mainstream ahk. Others version than this are not tested by me. I leave that to the original author of every library.

Is this ok to use as a function? Would you suggest anything other than this? btw, the other parts of your code is leaved as is. I am just wrapping this script to a function.

Code:

cdomessage(sServer, nPort, bTLS, nSend, nAuth, sUsername, sPassword, sFrom, sTo, sSubject = "", sBody = "", sAttach = "")

Return code would be from

Code:

Send := COM_Invoke(pmsg, "Send")

I do not much understand the com and cdo etc.

infogulch has already wrapped it into the function for AHK_L. The parmeter better be in that order, at least the fore part.

And, send has no return value.

Is this better? What return could it have?

Code:

/*
; In this example, Email is sent using GMail SMTP (SSL) server. 
cdomessage( sFrom     := "Mail_Address_Of_Sender"
          , sTo       := "Mail_Address_Of_Receipient"
          , sSubject  := "Message_Subject"
          , sBody     := "Message_Text"
          , sUsername := "your_username"
          , sPassword := "your_password" 
          , sServer   := "smtp.gmail.com"   ; specify your SMTP server
          , nPort     := 465                ; 25
          , bTLS      := True               ; False
          , sAttach   := ""                 ; Path of attachment, "|" delimieted
          , nSend     := 2                  ; cdoSendUsingPort
          , nAuth     := 1 )                ; cdoBasic
*/

; CDO COM - Email Delivery by Sean
; http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39797
cdomessage(sFrom, sTo, sSubject, sBody, sUsername, sPassword, sServer, nPort = 25, bTLS = False, sAttach = "", nSend = 2, nAuth = 1)

His version is unusable to me. I am not using Ahk_L currently.

I think what Sean means is that if you look at the parameters as related groups, all of the server specifications are mandatory while three of the mail-specific parameters (Subject, Body and Attach) are optional, so it's better just to move the entire group of mail-specific parameters to the end of the function:

Code:

cdo_message(sUsername, sPassword, sServer, nPort = 25, bTLS = False, nSend = 2, nAuth = 1,sFrom, sTo, sSubject="", sBody="", sAttach="")

Informally it might be slightly better to place the body parameter right before the subject parameter. Seems non-intuitive at first but many people send emails without subject lines, so it would save specifying a blank parameter in that case.

What return could it have?

I honestly don't think a return value would have any significance in this instance since the error messages the code already produces pretty much tell the story (although it would be nice to have a commented list of translations for the error messages in the function for reference, it might be a bit much).

Actually what I'm using is this.

Code:

Email(sFrom, sTo, sSubject, sBody, sAttach, sServer, sUsername, sPassword, bTLS = True, nPort = 25, nSend = 2, nAuth = 1)

But, it has too many parameters and the ordering depends largely on user's typical usage of emails, so I left it to the users wrapping into a function.

BTW, cdosys.dll contains its own MessageTable, so you can also use FormatMessage API (with the flag FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE), which COM_Error uses to format the system (:kernel32.dll) error messages.

I could use clipboard as Body

Code:

sBody := ""Clipboard ""

But how can I use my real user name and not the e-mail ID?

If I use this:

Code:

sUsername := "Dude"

I get error
But if I use my e-mail ID, for example.. If the e-mail I used was someone@gmail.com and I use
sUsername := "someone"
then it goes through but then the sender will be the e-mail address

Any ideas?

Could you post the entire code you're using? It's hard to figure out with just that one small piece of information.

By the way, in Sean's code sUsername is the username logon for the SMTP server, sFrom is for the from field in the email.

Yes, use sFrom as sinkfaze said. The usage is documented:
