Hello,

is it possible to send a simple text e-mail with assembler?
Where can I learn about this?

Yes, use winsock and connect to port 25 of a smtp server such as mx1.hotmail.com, d.mx.mail.yahoo.com, to find another smtp server use http://dnsstuff.com
type in host email provider URL and select the 'MX' record. after you are connected you use the SMTP(simple mail transfer protocol) to transfer your mail
here are some links:

http://cr.yp.to/smtp.html

Google 'smtp protocol' for more info

There is no need for dnsstuff, using http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682016.aspx with wType DNS_TYPE_MX ($000F) should work.

Hp,

Look at:

http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=6578.0

MASM code, and also shows sending an attachment, but this is a simple way to send mail; if MAPI is available on your machine.

hth,

Attached is a quick example using MAPI. It sends a small message and sends the asm source file as an attachment. Works on my XP Pro SP2. I know it should be able to send without any user interaction, but ever time I ran it, my default email client--Thunderbird--popped up with all the correct information. I simply had to click on send. I'll try to see if I can eliminate this.

but there is an example(link to example) in fasm.

I can't get this to work.
Does anyone have a working Winsock/SMTP or MAPI example?
I can get Winsock/SMTP to work, but not with attached files.

Please give me examples.
I want to make a light-weight email client.

assembler is a language, not a platform. You cant do that.
But you can use assembler to execute system functions (mostly ws2_32.dll in win) wich will connect smtp server and speak to it (how? read smtp rfc or wireshark mails sending from ur smtp client).
