Hi Charles,

Sorry if we did not explain that well.

The confusion I think is because there are two options related to emailing with
Indy.

You need to enable the first define as well:

{---- Email using Indy units}
{$DEFINE EmailWithIndy} <---------

Now recompile the packages. Instructions in Help topic:
Re-Compiling/Re-Installing - Registered Edition

Then program the OnEmail event:
FAQ: 22) How do I use EmailAfterCreate to email the generated document?

procedure TForm1.gtPDFEngine1EMail(Sender: TgtCustomDocumentEngine; EMailInfo:
TgtEMailInfo; var Continue, CancelEmail: Boolean);
begin
    EMailInfo.Host := 'mail.smtp.yourdomain.com'; { your mail server name }
    EMailInfo.UserID := 'userid'; { your account id }
    EMailInfo.Password := 'password';
    EMailInfo.Body.Add('<put message text here>');
    EMailInfo.FromAddress := 'userid@yourdomain.com';
    EMailInfo.Subject := '<put message subject here>';
    { Multiple recipients can be provided in a single string
      separated by a semi-colon (;) or by calling the Add method
      again for each recipient }
    EMailInfo.RecipientList.Add('someone@thierdomain.com');
    // EMailInfo.CCList.Add('<Carbon Copy Addresses>');
    // EMailInfo.BCCList.Add('<Blind Carbon Copy Addresses>');
end;

We are having the help file updated to contain more detailed instructions. We'll
be releasing it soon.
