does exist in Windows API a function that can use MTA-s or simply use STMP without needing implementation of a raw socket and a entire protocol to deal with possibles error messages ?

Will MAPI do?

thank you for answer . my real name is Catalin (romanian) and since the first post as 'anonymous' i sign up as 'broc' .
MAPI implies MFC . I don't want to use MFC . you know , all i want is to implement some simple service on a message-board like this one , some of type 'mail this message to a friend' without needing a interface for this.
