The SMTP Editor Form is exposed by the Editor property. It is essentially an SMTP application which can be used to test SMTP protocol and proxy connections. This capability is only available if you are working in the Visual Studio .NET environment and are using the Smtp component by dragging an instance onto a form.

To use the SMTP Editor Form, use the following steps.

1. Start a new Visual Studio .NET windows application
2. Drag an instance of the Smtp component onto the form.
3. The Smtp component icon should appear on a panel beneath the form. Click the icon to select it.
4. In the Properties Window, click the Properties button if the properties of the Smtp component are not displayed. If the Properties Window is not visible, go to the View menu and choose Properties Window.
5. Find the Editor property and click it with the mouse. Click the ellipsis that appears next to the Editor property. This should open a form.
   
6. Use the form to create and send a message.
