Send a draft message to mailing list

X-No-Archive: yes

I need some help using Access to send a pre-formated e-mail message
from my Outlook Drafts folder to a mailing list.

At work I'm frequently asked to forward someone else's e-mail message
to everyone on our e-mail mailing list. I manage the list using
Access 2000 and found some VBA code online that automatically creates
and sends an e-mail to every person in my list, one by one. But, my
problem is the code I found was just a sample and only sends a plain
text file as the body of the message. Our messages usually have HTML
in them.

Can someone explain how I can modify the code so, rather than creating
a new, blank e-mail msg., it will take my draft and send it to each
person on my list. (I've aware of the Outlook security patch and have
it covered).

(Sorry I haven't posted the code. It's at work and I'm not.)

Thanks.

Use HTMLBody property instead of the Body property.

Wow! That was an easy fix. Thanks!! Any suggestions for a good
resource to learn Outlook VBA? I think I understand Access well, but
I'm not getting anywhere with Outlook.

Thanks.

I'm not an Outlook expert, but I do have some sample code at my
site you can download and look at.

What I really like is JMail. There's a JMail example there too, but
it bypasses Outlook and requires an SMTP mail server login.

I'm writing a simple mailing list program, and I would like to know what the suggested method of sending a large number of emails to a list of addresses. (sounds like spam, no?) It's perfectly legit, it's just an opt-in mailing. I have a feeling that using a 'while' loop with repeated calls to mail() is not the best practice. Is there something better I should be doing?

Hello all, I've to send some reports to a mailing list. Those reports must be created by datas stored in mysql, using PHP. - my first idea is to create PDF files that can be sent by email or where a link to them is sent to every user. - the second is to create an dynamic link to a php page with the same idea, send a HTML or text message with a link for the report.

My app creates a building report. My users have requested that I provide functionality to e-mail these "building reports" to building managers once a month. So assuming that I have the following table that lists a building manager's name, e-mail address and their building, is there a way that I can automate this to send these monthly e-mails from Outlook. Ideally this would be a click one button type of action:
