>>I am using MAPI (class mapimail, if I remember correctly I got it from the download section). My client asks me whether it is possible to change the sender e-mail, i.e., my own e-mail. I am not sure whether this makes sense (with MAPI), since the idea is, more or less, to use the default e-mail client, and the default account... but I wanted to ask, just in case, whether the programmer has any control over this, with MAPI.

Thanks. Since I understand that this will be a program that will be distributed to individual clients (lawyers), who probably don't have such a corporate network, I guess I'll tell my client that it doesn't seem possible with MAPI - and that other alternatives don't seem practical. (For example, Visual FoxPro can connect directly to the SMTP server, but I prefer MAPI, and so does my client, because of the ease of have sent emails stored in the e-mail client.)
