Actually, it does. It's just not installed and it has been replaced by CDO.

CDO replaces it.

I went to my google toolbar and typed in CDO How-to. A whole slew of links
came up and this was the 2nd on the list:

Enjoy!

Had the same problem. With some research, I figured that
you need to use the CDO.Message component instead of
CDONTS.NewMail. Also, you need to decide if you want to
send the message as HTML (use HTMLBody attribute) or Text
(use TextBody attibute instead of the Body attribute).
That's it. Here's some sample code that works for me:

Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objCDOMail.From = "someone@blahblah.com"
objCDOMail.To = "someone@company.com"
objCDOMail.Subject = "Test Subject..."
objCDOMail.TextBody = bodystr

objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing

Same with what as what?

: With some research, I figured that

Yes, unless you install CDONTS on W2K3, you need to use CDO and you use CDO
commands with it, not CDONTS commands.

: Also, you need to decide if you want to
: send the message as HTML (use HTMLBody attribute) or Text
: (use TextBody attibute instead of the Body attribute).
: That's it. Here's some sample code that works for me:

Yes, TextBody for plain text, HTMLBody for HTML messages.

: Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
: objCDOMail.From = "someone@blahblah.com"
: objCDOMail.To = "someone@company.com"
: objCDOMail.Subject = "Test Subject..."
: objCDOMail.TextBody = bodystr
:
: objCDOMail.Send
: Set objCDOMail = Nothing

Glad to hear you got it working.
