$AdoDbStream = New-Object -ComObject ADODB.Stream
$AdoDbStream.Charset = "ascii"

$AdoDbStream.LoadFromFile($MHTMLfile)
$CdoMessage = New-Object -ComObject CDO.Message
$CdoMessage.DataSource.OpenObject($AdoDbStream,"_Stream")

$SendUsingPort = 2
$smtpPort = 25

$cfg = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
$CdoMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item($cfg + "sendusing") =  $SendUsingPort
$CdoMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item($cfg + "smtpserver") = $SmtpServer
$CdoMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item($cfg + "smtpserverport") = $smtpPort 

$CdoMessage.To      = $smtpTo
$CdoMessage.From    = $smtpFrom
$CdoMessage.Subject = $smtpSubject

$CdoMessage.MimeFormatted = $true
$CdoMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update()

WRITE-HOST "Sending email"
$CdoMessage.Send()
