Yes Redemption works if you need to automate Outlook for an internal project, but it's not really an option if it's an app that goes to a customer since it's licensed per machine and needs to be installed.
Lots of options to send email but it's best not to start with Outlook if other options are possible...

>>Nope - this message comes from Outlook and is meant as a security measure to avoid email scripting attacks. I believe there are some third party programs you can get that will circumvent that 'feature' but they'd have to be installed on any client.

>>There are examples/tools here in the libraries or third party tools like West Wind Client Tools (
http://www.west-wind.com/WestwindClientTools.aspx) that allow you to directly send emails without COM automation and Outlook requirements.
