Catalyst Internet Mail by Catalyst Development Corp

The Internet Mail control provides a single interface for composing, sending and retrieving e-mail messages. Instead of using separate controls to format, retrieve and send messages, the developer can use a single Internet Mail control for much of the same functionality without the inherent complexity and coding. For most applications, this is the only control that will be needed to process e-mail messages. However, in some cases a program may require the advanced features of a specific SocketTools control, such as sending extended authentication commands or server-specific options. In this situation, the Internet Mail control can be seamlessly integrated with the other SocketTools controls to build a more complex solution that requires a greater degree of customization.

The control is implemented as a standard COM object and is designed to be used in visual development tools as well as various scripting environments. Any programming language which can host ActiveX controls or create instances of a COM object should be capable of using the Internet Mail control, such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual FoxPro and Delphi. Server and client-side scripting is also supported using languages such as VBScript and JScript. The control is completely self-contained and does not require developers to redistribute the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) or Visual C runtime libraries, nor any other third-party library.
