Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions for our club's initial bulkmail sending
routines. I did read up on the use of ASP vs. a separate COM app such as
ASPEmail, and determined that for our club's purposes the ASP code that
loops through the data and sends individual messages vs. BCC performs
adequately for simple messaging.
The next phase is to email the club's newsletter, which is in PDF format,
and I've run into the problem that CDO errors out because it doesn't
recognize the format using the basic config settings. In sifting through
the MSDN's CDO content and other sources I found some references that
would permit attaching .txt and .gif files, but not for PDFs. Does anyone
here know of a concise and relatively complete reference to such things as
cdoConfig settings, or better, a solution to this specific problem?
TIA,
Neil

Your best bet is to send a plain text email with a link to the relavent
PDF file.

Attachments take a while to download, and no other mail can be retrieved
until the entire message has been downloaded. Sending a text message
with a link to the relavent PDF file allows the user to get other mail
while going to the address specified and either opening or saving the
PDF file (Firefox has an extension to view PDF documents as HTML,
opening or saving).
I would even go so far as to say that the newsletter would be better off
done as an HTML page, much less to download, open, etc.
If you make a template, you can save the content in a database, and
serve the newsletter like any other page, including navigation, links to
other documents, etc. You can create a form for inputting the
newsletter content, and output it as HTML if you wanted to send a
multipart HTML/Plain text newsletter. You can even archive these
newsletters.

That is almost exactly what I tried, with some additional
cdo.configurati on specs. Sometimes, simpler is better, so I also tried
this code, and received the same error message:
---------------------------------------
CDO.Message.1 error '800c000d'
The specified protocol is unknown.

I see. The newsletter is available on the website, but some members prefer
to have it emailed to them, which we have done manually for the last few
years. I'm trying to automate the process. In fact, it can be done with
ASPEmail and similar COM apps, but if this task can be accomplished with
ASP code alone, that is our preference.

OK... Tracing through this has resolved the ability to send PDFs via
ASP... so far, so good, and it's a pretty elegant method for our purposes.
What happens is that the attachment is given a generated name, e.g.
"ATT0001" rather than the name of the PDF file. I tried to find a
parameter for AddAttachments that would use the actual filename, but have
found nothing so far. Know of some way to accomplish this?
