Hi all,

1) Why do Trolltech decided to make a class to open the faucet as well and not an smtp one? (very usefull I believe)
2) Is a good library that on the following site and is it possible to integrate it with Qt? (How?)
site: http://www.vmime.org/
3) What would be your solution if you have to send emails and attachments from your application?

Thank you in advance

"Open the faucet"? What do you mean by that? As for the smtp part - there are numerous protocols out there and implementing wrappers for every one of them would be an impossible task.


2) Is a good library that on the following site and is it possible to integrate it with Qt? (How?)
site: http://www.vmime.org/
Yes, vmime is fine. You don't have to integrate it in any way - just use it.


3) What would be your solution if you have to send emails and attachments from your application?

I would either use vmime or implement a small subset of the smtp protocol myself using available libraries to handle mime data.

Oh really forget it, was just a joke; I meant that Qt library seems to support a class for almost everything a developer could need and I was surprised that I didn't see a class for smtp as well :)

Anyway thank you S.Wysota for your reply, bright and kind as always :)
(but if someone else has some idea about it may talk too)

Use what? VMime? Just use it like any other C++ library. There's nothing Qt specific.
