Works the SMTP code provided by Stefan Beltrame with TD 5.1?
How to migrate from TD 2005.1?

Thanks

Hi Adam

Attached you find a version for TD 5.1.
Not fully tested!

Hi Stefan,

why do you read the attachements in parts of 51 bytes (before you encode
them base64 and send them - ReadFile(nFile, nStream, 51, nRead, 0))? Why
don't you read them in larger parts (let's say 1024 bytes).

Hi Rainer

Standard RFC-2045 talks about 76 characters + CRLF.
That means 57 decoded characters per line.

(57 / 3) * 4 = 76

I use 51 (51 / 3 * 4 = 68) + 2 characters for CRLF = 70 because:

a) 70 was the age of my mother when I wrote the code
b) I had to much Shiraz
c) It's just a a typing error

Guess the right answer and send it in with $10 to my privat address.

Anyway, 57 should be the maximum for sending emails.
Of course for other purposes a larger value is also possible.
