>>I do emailing within my VFP Internet app and the procedure I take is to let the VFP app register the mail in a table. The table is processed twice an hour to send mail to the destination. I use the mapi object, we have outlook with an exchange server and the mapi object has worked quite well. I learned to use it based on the help files installed by office 97 that gives code/examples of the mapi object using visual basic. Once I got the syntax down the application runs with very little problems. If you would like I could email you the code snippet for how I accompished this task.

I have no Eudora users, that I know of, so I cant comment on that problem.
The only thing I can think of about you getting a copy of the message is the CC or BCC has been set with your address. If you send the mail programmatically then you should only get a copy in your sent box.

Hope this helps
