Hello Everyone...
There is a need to do below for one of my project which i ma doing for learning purpose... i am finding it difficult to implement... please give me some direction on this...
i want to send an email to so many any people in diffrent world areas.
what i need is that when any of Recipient opens/selects that email in thier outlook client, it shall open a pop up kind of window where i can ask my friend to provide thier birthday details (in some netry field in the window) and then say "ok" or something. which shall send a email back to my id(that is sender's id)...
the main dificulty i am getting is to send mail, we need to know exchge server details of that user's system. how do we get that... like that opening window from outlook mail is unknown to me... 
it would be really helpful if some of you can share your knowledge with me which shall help me to achieve this...

It will not work. Because, what you want is the same thing what a spammer / virus do.
Your code will be removed/blocked from mailserver, or from outlook client, or antivirus.
That means, forget it....!!!
A "normal" user just send an email like this:
-------------------------------
Please provide me your bithday
Name :
Birthday :
Thanks...
-------------------------------

thanks.
i have already done so (sending emails) but this one what i planned to create, was kind of forced reminder to all my firends who are too lazy to reply and didn't gave details till now. so i thought to send a different reminder...
thanks for you suggestion...
will stop this thought now...

You cannot force your friends to give you their birthday. It's a privacy.
|
|
|
|

i too do have respect for my firends privacy but i know some of my friends who are not worried about thier privacy more over they are lazy enough to reply putting it as task for tomorrow...
thanks...

Instead of sending the mail content as plain text, send as html
there you could write your javascript.
but iam not sure about, how the client machine antivirus will allow this kind of script in the mail content.

thanks sambasivam. i will give it a try...

If an email did that to me, I would hunt down the sender, and remove large lumps of their body with a rusty [CENSORED] [CENSORED] before [CENSORED] a melon [CENSORED]. Twice. Sideways.
No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

hi i just replied to one of member who thought i am spammer...
then i thought to reply to you, i don't know what way i harmed you or troubled you so you replied in such a way... i am little different from people who act before thinking so you are getting a soft reply.
any way, to clear some thing read below and think twice from next time onwards before replying to any one... if you don't know intention of person... it will reduce some headache from you as well as from the sender too...
i shall have told in starting that i am not doing any business advertisement thought these mails... i just want to collect birthdays of so many of my firends whom i will send this mail and automate this birthday collection...
thats all whole idea is... in place of asking each of my friend to give thier bdays which i never collected and stored properly i want to do it though automated thing...
hope you understand this time...

Your request looks exactly like a spammer / phishing attack, even if it isn't the intention.
|
|
|
|

hi.
thanks for your inputs. i was not aware if this is exactly what pishing does.
so today i learnt to at least avoid this kind of approach for any implementation needs.
i thanks everyone who ever reponded and gave thier inputs.
thanks all...

Glad you learnt something today.
Another thought for you, consider that the people who you are sending your request to DON'T WANT to respond with their birthdays. Many of us refuse to disseminate this type of personal information to anyone but family and very close friends. That is why Griff responded so strongly. What you proposed to send to your friends is considered extremely intrusive.

thanks Mycroft.
yes, i will consider your thoughts...
may be i belong to india where people are more open and here sharing birthdates are not big deals and also not considered to be very secret information for onself to share with firends...
so i feel lots of contradition is there because of the way we live, the way our culture is...
i will also consider this from next time... thanks

Yet im sure you know a bunch of people who work / have worked in call centres... what is the first "security" question you get asked when calling 99% of companies?
A: Your date of birth.

|
|
|

that is there but still there are bunch of people that's our friends out of our family, with whom we share many things and bdate is one of them...
and of course everyone of us know whom of our firend we can ask and share how much...
any way what you told is absolutely right taking if any such details collecting thing is being attempted which will reveal our info to a person whom we woulnd't wish to share bday such details with...
thanks.
when i kept this question i really didn't know i will get/send message to many of you...
really nice experience of suggestions and corrections for me...
All,
thanks a lot...

My appologies if I offended you. However, if you are considering writing something that will make someones machine do unexpected things, you have to consider what the reaction will be. What would you think was happening if you recieved an email that did what you describe?

I think it was a perfectly acceptable response, I wish I could leap down the line and rip some peoples lungs out, this guy would have been one of them. Friends like that who needs spammers.

No need buddy. I do understand that at first my request looks like i am going to use it for spamming likd of thing, so it was even mistake from my side to keep unclear things out there...
regarding if it happens to me: Yes thats true even i will feel its pishing kind of but only if from unknown sender but if i know the sender also i can see what that promprt is asking to me mostly i can believe the mail
but still as all have suggested it's not good idea so i have dropped that thing and thinking to ping my friends some other way...
thanks

Thats part of the point, I guess - if it could open a window, it could send an email to your entire address book. Which would look like it came from a friend...

yes thats true... so no one can say the mail coming from a well known sender is safe or not if it does this kind of stuff what i tried...
well explained... thanks
