Building E-Mail App. Need versatile OCX for Message

[CrownMaker]

I am building a specialized E-Mail application using Winsock and I need a text box like the RichTextBox, where you can format text but when emailed it retains it's format at the recipients end. Does anybody know where I can get a Text box OCX like this or some code that would make it possible? Thanking you in advance. CrownMaker@hotmail.com

in order to send email using winsock control, you will need to know Pop3 and SMTP protocol. You might try http://vblib.virtualave.net, there is 2 class vbPop3 & vbSMTP that might help. However, most of the email client that allow formatting of email text, is nothing more than using the HTML. that's, if you want to make a text appears bold, then type <B>Text</B>,..etc. on the other size, the viewer must be able to interprete HTML.
