OK, thanks, that helps. Now, to my other question... do you know how to change the default client in Windows? Because, I believe that the popular MAPI classes will simply send an e-mail to a default client, not to any specific client.

Hilmar.

Update: I found that most E-Mail programs have an option to set themselves as default email client; also, here they explain how to change this in the Windows Control Panel: http://www.freeemailtutorials.com/microsoftWindows/settingDefaultEmailClient.cwd
