Hi Richard,
Sorry, I was not clear in my question.
I want to attach a file (PDF) with my email-message.
I have read the documentation about FTP but my users (the receivers) can't use FTP  So I have to attach a file to a message.
So, my question is: Is it possible to attach af file with using the socklib library?
Thank you,
Nanne

Certainly it is "possible", but I'm not aware of anybody having done it before. You would need to create a multipart MIME email including the attachment, suitably encoded (e.g. as 'base64'). There is some useful information on what is needed here:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/i-n/internet/email/article.php/c3405/EMail-File-Attachments-Using-MIME.htm
At a quick glance it looks quite easy. Let us know how you get on (and ideally write a Wiki article - or even a BB4W library - for the benefit of others).
Richard.

In fact so easy I couldn't think of a good reason not to write it myself - so I did:
http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/Sending+an+email+with+attachments
It hasn't been extensively tested but appears to work. Let me know if you have any problems with it.
Richard.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your work!
I'll try it this week and let you know if I have problems with it. When it works fine, which I assume, I let you know that too
