    Is it a bad idea to put contact info into app?

    In case the user has trouble within my software, they can send an email message directly to my email address using the email object.

    The only thing is that within the events of the application my email address is sending me their contact information. Which means that in the code my user name / password & server settings are their. Is there a way an advanced hacker to break into the code and steal my info? Is it a bad idea all together to include that information. Or should I direct to a forum or ftp a .txt file containing their question?

    Give me advice.

    Thanks

    Personally i would recomend you to leave out critical information like that. Why dont you just write your email adress so the user can send you an email manually?

    You could write a php script that will email you and use it with live receiver.

    Both good ideas I like. The PHP script would do the trick as well.

    If you tell MMF to run your email address as an external program, does it open the default email client?

    If not, using it in the Vitalize object's "Open URL" command would.

    Web based clients are way too common for that to be a reasonable solution. I'd go for php.
