User's Mail Editor

[Dennis]

I am using the following code that I got from this newsgroup to start a
user's default e-mail editor and it works ok. However, I would like to
attach a file to the editor (like using word as editor)

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInf o
psi.UseShellExe cute = True
psi.FileName = "mailto:" & HttpUtility.Url Encode([To]) &
"?subject=" & Subject & "&body=" & Message
Process.Start(p si)

What do I use for the variable (like &body is used for the text body)?

I have confirmed personally that the mapi activex controls (msmapi32.ocx)
do indeed work with OE... in fact they work better with OE than with
Outlook because of Outlook's Object Model Guard.

MAPI (Mail API) was intended to be a "generic" interface into any
"default" e-mail program on the computer... not just MSMail or Exchange
based ones.

(VB6 code using the two controls necessary)

MAPISession1.Do wnLoadMail = False
MAPISession1.Si gnOn
MAPISession1.Ne wSession = True

MAPIMessages1.S essionID = MAPISession1.Se ssionID

MAPIMessages1.C ompose
MAPIMessages1.R ecipAddress = "so*****@somewh ere.com"
MAPIMessages1.m sgSubject = "My subject"
MAPIMessages1.m sgNoteText = "bla bla bla"

MAPIMessages1.S end

MAPISession1.Si gnOff
MAPISession1.Ne wSession = False

Dennis,

I looked up MAPI and it infers that I have to have an exchange
server...I 'm
not sure what this is. I use Outlook to send e-mail thru my internet
provider "Time Warner RoadRunner" and Word as my default e-mail editor.
What else do I need to use MAPI?

I thought that as well that the MAPI was used in combination with
Exchange server. So I have checked this at Internet. I saw some things
about Outlook Express, however I doubt it of the writters of that are not
confused with Office Outlook, what started with that name from MS Mail
4.0 what had got than got the name MS Exchange and than the client who
had forever had in all versions until 3.5 had the name Exchange became
Outlook. It was a while very confusing to explain that.

However as CMM has a good solutiong that real works on Outlook Express
and by instance all Apple email clients, than we are probably all very
interested.

Just to point it (what might be obvious...) you need to have an e-mail
account set up in OE and it needs to be your "default" e-mail program as per
Internet Explorer's -> Properties (Options) -> Programs.

If instead Outlook 2003 is the default, it triggers the Outlook Guard (not
sure about Outlook 2000 or 2002). I dunno off the top of my head how to get
around that... something having to do with adding a certificate or
whatever.... I'm sure there's info on how to do it on the web.

But it works for OE splendidly (WinXP SP2)
