You can use TIdAttachmentMemory instead of TIdAttachmentFile :

StringList := TStringList.Create;
StringList.Append('foo');

MemoryStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
StringList.SaveToStream(MemoryStream);
MemoryStream.Position := 0;

IdMessage := TIdMessage.Create(nil);
IdAttachmentMemory := TIdAttachmentMemory.Create(IdMessage.MessageParts,MemoryStream);

You could use the StringList.Text porperty. This property can be used to read and write and thus pass the content of a stringlist as a string paramater (instead of trying to pass an object).

Why not save it to file and send the file as an attachment?
