|
||
class provides an easy way to send e-mail messages. If
|
||
you want to do it the hard way, look up the
|
||
<acronym class="acronym" title="Simple Mail Transfer Protocol">SMTP</acronym>
|
||
<acronym class="acronym" title="Request For Comments">RFC</acronym>
|
||
and start plodding your way through the Network Kit documentation. You'll get it working one
|
||
of these days.</p><p>Or you can sail right on through and be sending e-mail from your own
|
||
applications in a matter of minutes using your friend, the
|
||
<a class="link" href="BMailMessage.html" title="BMailMessage"><code class="classname">BMailMessage</code></a>.</p><div class="section"><div xmlns="" xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="titlepage"><div><hr /><div xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="BMailMessage_ConstructingAMailMessage"></a>Constructing a Mail Message</h3></div></div></div><p>To send an e-mail, you simply construct a new
|
||
<a class="link" href="BMailMessage.html" title="BMailMessage"><code class="classname">BMailMessage</code></a> object, add a
|
||
"To" header field, add the content, and send the message on its way. For
|
||
example:</p><pre class="programlisting example cpp"><span class="type">BMailMessage *</span><code class="varname">mail</code>;
|
||
<span class="type">char *</span><code class="varname">message</code>;
|
||
|
||
<code class="varname">mail</code> = new <code class="classname">BMailMessage</code>();
|
||
<code class="varname">mail</code>-><code class="methodname">AddHeaderField</code>(<code class="constant">B_MAIL_TO</code>, "bob@uncle.com");
|
||
<code class="varname">mail</code>-><code class="methodname">AddHeaderField</code>(<code class="constant">B_MAIL_SUBJECT</code>, "Hi");
|
||
<code class="varname">message</code> = "Hi, Uncle Bob!";
|
||
<code class="varname">mail</code>-><code class="methodname">AddContent</code>(<code class="varname">message</code>, <code class="function">strlen</code>(<code class="varname">message</code>));</pre><p>This is a pretty basic message. The subject is "Hi," the message is sent
|
||
to "bob@uncle.com," and the message body is "Hi, Uncle Bob!"</p><p>You can add other fields, including carbon-copy (CC) and
|
||
blind-carbon-copy (BCC) fields, and you can add attachments. For example,
|
||
if you want to also attach a file called <code class="filename">/boot/home/file.zip</code>,
|
||
you can do the following:</p><pre class="programlisting example cpp"><code class="varname">mail</code>-><code class="methodname">AddEnclosure</code>("/boot/home/file.zip");</pre><p>Once your message has been constructed, you can send it by calling
|
||
<a class="link" href="BMailMessage.html#BMailMessage_Send" title="Send()"><code class="methodname">Send()</code></a>:</p><pre class="programlisting example cpp"><code class="varname">mail</code>-><code class="methodname">Send</code>();</pre><p>That's the basic technique behind sending e-mail under the BeOS. The mail
|
||
daemon also fetches incoming mail from a POP server, but you can't use
|
||
the <a class="link" href="BMailMessage.html" title="BMailMessage"><code class="classname">BMailMessage</code></a>
|
||
class to read these messages; you use the BeOS
|
||
<a class="link" href="BQuery.html" title="BQuery"><code class="classname">BQuery</code></a>
|
||
and <a class="link" href="BNode.html" title="BNode"><code class="classname">BNode</code></a>
|
||
classes to locate messages of interest and obtain information
|
||
about them. See "Querying Mail Messages" for more information.</p></div></div><div id="footer"><hr /><div id="footerT">Prev: <a href="TheMailDaemon_Overview.html">The Mail Daemon</a> Up: <a href="TheMailKit_Overview.html">The Mail Kit</a> Next: <a href="TheMediaKit_Overview.html">The Media Kit</a> </div><div id="footerB"><div id="footerBL"><a href="TheMailDaemon_Overview.html" title="The Mail Daemon"><img src="./images/navigation/prev.png" alt="Prev" /></a> <a href="TheMailKit_Overview.html" title="The Mail Kit"><img src="./images/navigation/up.png" alt="Up" /></a> <a href="TheMediaKit_Overview.html" title="The Media Kit"><img src="./images/navigation/next.png" alt="Next" /></a></div><div id="footerBR"><div><a href="http://www.haiku-os.org"><img src="./images/People_24.png" alt="haiku-os.org" title="Visit The Haiku Website" /></a></div><div class="navighome" title="Home"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html"><img src="./images/navigation/home.png" alt="Home" /></a></div></div><div id="footerBC"><a href="http://www.access-company.com/home.html" title="ACCESS Co."><img alt="Access Company" src="./images/access_logo.png" /></a></div></div></div><div id="licenseFooter"><div id="licenseFooterBL"><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/" title="Creative Commons License"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-nc-nd/3.0/88x31.png" /></a></div><div id="licenseFooterBR"><a href="./LegalNotice.html">Legal Notice</a></div><div id="licenseFooterBC"><span id="licenseText">This work is licensed under a
