To All,

I came across your message from a couple of days ago on incorporating email into applications. Thanks, it's cool. Just one other question. How would I automatically attach a file and set the subject of the email message? Also, where could I find documentation on the shell.application object?

Any answers would be great, Thanks

>>If you want to create the entire email and send it without user interaction, you can use wwIPStuff, but it does not go through the default mail client, it doens't use a mail client at all: it uses wininet.dll to send the message directly to the mail server using low level windows functions.
