SUMMARY
=======

This article explains how to take advantage of Collaboration Data Objects (CDO).
The NT Option Pack (NTOP) exposed CDO for Windows NT Server (CDONTS) provides
the Active Server Pages (ASP) page an easier method for sending mail. This
article describes how to create a file that defines the constants for use with
the CDONTS.NewMail object.

How to Include the Code in ASP
------------------------------

WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN
RISK. Microsoft provides this code "as is" without warranty of any kind, either
express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of
merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

To include the code in an ASP page, use the Server Side Includes (SSI) syntax to
reference the path to the file:

  <!--#include virtual="/cdovbs.inc"-->

To use this page, copy the following ASP code, and then save it as "Cdovbs.inc"
(without the quotation marks) in the root directory of a Web site:

  ' CDONTS.NewMail constants include file for VBScript

  '--------------------------------------------------------------------

  '---- BodyFormat Property ----
  Const CdoBodyFormatHTML	= 0	' The Body property is to include Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
  Const CdoBodyFormatText	= 1	' The Body property is to be exclusively in plain text (default value).

  '---- MailFormat Property ----
  Const CdoMailFormatMime	= 0	' The NewMail object is to be in MIME format.
  Const CdoMailFormatText	= 1	' The NewMail object is to be in uninterrupted plain text (default value).

  '---- Importance Property ----
  Const CdoLow	= 0		' Low importance
  Const CdoNormal	= 1		' Normal importance (default)
  Const CdoHigh	= 2		' High importance

  '---- AttachFile and AttachURL Methods ----
  Const CdoEncodingUUencode	= 0	' The attachment is to be in UUEncode format (default).

The following is a sample ASP page that uses the preceding code:

  <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
  <%
  	Option Explicit
  	Dim objNewMail
  %>
  <!--#include virtual="/cdovbs.inc"-->
  <%
  	Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
  	objNewMail.From = "someone@example.com"
  	objNewMail.To = "someone@example.com"
  	objNewMail.Subject = "This is a test message"
  	objNewMail.Body = "This is a test message"
  	objNewMail.BodyFormat = CdoBodyFormatText
  	objNewMail.MailFormat = CdoMailFormatText
  	objNewMail.Importance = CdoNormal
  	objNewMail.Send
  	Set objNewMail = Nothing
  %>
  <html>
  <head><title>CDONTS.NewMail Test</title></head>
  <body>
  Your mail has been sent!
  </body>
  </html>
