For the life of my I can not see why you would want to do this - other than some il thought out backup solution, or some il thought out method to allow access to the files remotely, etc..

But since you state your a total programming noob. Just grab a commanline smtp mailer - quite a few of them out there, create a batch file that emails whatever files you want to whatever address you want, etc.. Then schedule that batch file to run whenever you want this to happen with the windows builtin scheduler.

edit:

In a nutshell - grab smtpsend from here - http://www.swsoft.co.uk/index.asp?page=freesoftware

logmailer.cmd

---

smtpsend -a c:\pathto\mirc.log smtpserveraddress youremailaddress targetaddress@somedomain.com

---

Schedule logmailer.cmd to run whenever you want.

I have never tested this particular smtp commandline, but in a nutshell - that is how you would do it - with any of FREE smtp commandline tools on the net. Ohter tools have many more options - if you really want a goodone, pm me - I do not know the url of the exact one I use off the top of my head.

thnx a lot budman and the rest of ya.

does Smtpsend run on win98? and also does it run in systray or something similar so It can mail at certain intervals or at a certain time?

also, which mail would I use, I have mail accounts on hotmail and gmail.

no it does not run in the sys tray - like i stated schedule the batch file to kick off with task scheduler.

And NO FREE HTML SPAM mail accounts will not work - you will need a SMTP server to send to, ie the one every ISP on the planet gives you when you get connected..
