When I type this command directly from a command prompt in XP the email
gets sent correctly. But from a system_exec I get a return code of 1 which
the documentatin says a bad command string or non existent file. Does
anyone know why? I see nothing wrong when the puts displays the cmdString.

cmdString = "blat.exe " & rptFile & " -to gwalters at sc.rr.com -subject
\"archived invoice\""

puts(1, cmdString & "\n") tmp = gets(0) rc = system_exec(cmdString,0) trace(1) </eucode

the var rptFile does exist. rc has a value of 1. }}}

I did the -install once. I don't think I need to do it again with each use?

It works directly from the command line but not with system_exec.....??

you can put the subject line into a text file and use the -sf switch 
you can also try using the same command line from the blatsend() function
in the wrapper, omitting the "blat.exe " part.

The best suggestion, would be to drop it into windows\system, or
windows\system32,
as thoes are global, and would allow you to access it, no matter what. 
Especially
if you use blat.dll among more then 1 program.

That was me.

The code is not usable, because it was messed up by the EUforum software.
{'&','a','m','p',';'}  (written as string) was replaced with "&"
{'&','l','t',';'}      (written as string) was replaced with "<"
{'&','g','t',';'}      (written as string) was replaced with ">"

That's why I posted it as "attachment". It was available at
   http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/txt2html.zip

If it's not there anymore, let me know. Then I'll upload it again.

PS: I've started working on a much more advanced version, that
    automatically recognizes headings and URLs, does smart word wrapping
    and so on. It's much fun!
