Hi all..
I have a question regarding Outlook/Outlook Express and attachments.
I have seen a program in the past that can run Outlook and attach a
file automatically without the user having to manually attach the file.
I have found a lib in the archives that allow you to do this using MAPI,
but the problem is it does not open that default mail client mail compose
window, but instead sends the file directly.
I would like to perform the same action when you click on a mailto link
on a webpage. Example: When you click on a mailto link on a webpage it
opens your default e-mail client and automatically fill in the
TO…etc..etc. I would like to do the same with an attachment.
I have tried the following with no avail:
shellExecute ("open","mailto:Eucoder at Hotmail.com?subject=E-mail
Test&attachment=c:/example.log"
Anyone have an idea how?

to get a sendnote window to compose do this;
replace the value MAPI_LOGON_UI with MAPI_DIALOG ( = 0x00000008)
in the MAPISendMail function call ;
--goodsend = c_func(MAPISendMail, {session, 0, message, MAPI_LOGON_UI, 0})
goodsend = c_func(MAPISendMail, {session, 0, message, MAPI_DIALOG, 0})
#define MAPI_LOGON_UI 0x00000001 // Display logon UI
#define MAPI_NEW_SESSION 0x00000002 // Do not use default.
#define MAPI_DIALOG 0x00000008 // Display a send note UI
#define MAPI_UNREAD_ONLY 0x00000020 // Only unread messages
#define MAPI_ENVELOPE_ONLY 0x00000040 // Only header information
#define MAPI_PEEK 0x00000080 // Do not mark as read.
#define MAPI_GUARANTEE_FIFO 0x00000100 // use date order
#define MAPI_BODY_AS_FILE 0x00000200
#define MAPI_AB_NOMODIFY 0x00000400 // Don't allow mods of AB
entries
#define MAPI_SUPPRESS_ATTACH 0x00000800 // header + body, no files
#define MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD 0x00001000 // force download of new
mail during MAPILogon
