Hello andy,
I've had some extensive programming using emails over the last year. I currently have a nightly batch job that runs on my server at 02:00 A.M. My database concerns audits of our procedures. This batch job goes through the database, pulls out all overdue records, and emails the owner about it's status. Kinda like a reminder. This job uses my outlook account and mails it, so it assumes a lot of things.
I also have an instance where a user can select to mail a record. The system creates a word codument using a form, places the data on the form and attaches it to an email address. Then it allows the user to add comments and select recipients using outlook.
If either is what you're looking for let me know and I'll email the code.
