mailto problem - need to autosend w/>256chars

[Peter Bassett]

I thought this would be an easier task than it has become.

I have a form for the user to enter resume information. There are several
fields. I need to email this information to the Recruiter. Ithought I could
just concatenate all the fields into "body" and send it off in a
Response.redirect command a la

RedirectStmt = "mailto:" & "resume@company.com" & "?subject=" & _
Request.QueryString("fullname") & " Resume" &_ "&body=" & body

But I do not want to see the email client pop up. I want this to
automatically be sent. Also, I have read that the mailto limit is 256 chars
which is of course wxceeded with all the resume info.

How can I auto-send the resume and also have the body be any size?

Thanks!
Pete

Nope.... you are using the CLIENT to send the mail.
Look at CDO (with SMTP) to send it from the SERVER.

You can't automate hardly anything on the client.....for security reasons.

Please don't multi-post. I have no idea waht this has to do with databases.
