MAPI is a little dependent on the client installed on the machine. You can start the mail program addressed to a person with:

oShell = CREATEOBJECT('Shell.Application')
oShell.Open('mailto:esmoore@flash.net')

but you can't do much more with it.

If you need to power to insert text, attach files, and send without user intervention, I would look into MAPI, or a 3rd party product like IDSMail.

IDSMail is independent of mail client: it works with MS clients as well as Lotus and several others.

There are articles and sample files for using MAPI here in the knowledge base and files section.
