Daniel,
Yes, I completely agree. We use couple of commercial products, like Data Junction, DynaZip (actually, I was the forcer to buy this product for our company), etc. Since I haven't proceed much in this ongoing application, I don't know the answer yet. Few tests, which I ran, gave me an impression, that I can use Nigel's class for the purpose of sending e-mails from GroupWise. I confirm, though, that I didn't run lots of tests. So, will see.
Again, thank for your help. I will keep you in touch, when I really will start working on this application. Now it's a preliminary discussion anyway...

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
