Rick,

do you mean the stack lcMailAndFtp.livecode?

The original stack was created by Charles Warwick, the developer of the tsNet externals.
If i remember correctly, i added the FTP part or so and put that modified stack as lcMailAndFtp.livecode online.

You could look here for a newer version (1.2) of Charles mail sample stack.
https://www.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet-resources/

Although the version 1.2 of the mail stack is more current then the one from my site, it still is a little bit "outdated".
There is a new command in LC available called mimeEncodeAsMIMEEmail which would make some of the code in the sample stack obsolete if it would be used. But the sample stack from Techstrategies should still work.

If you still have problems you can contact me also directly at   matthias (at) m-r-d.de

Regards,

Matthias
