If not, is there an easy way (i.e., redesigning the e-mail utility with WestWind's tools are not an option) that I can detect what my e-mail client is, and then create my lcMailTo variable accordingly?


David,

I checked your site and looked at article qGEN017. It will work fine for an Outlook or Outlook Express client, but still doesn't allow me to specify the FROM clause, which is necessary for GroupWise. Just like my old code, it puts the TO address in the FROM field, the SUBJECT in the TO field, etc.

Has anyone worked with GroupWise before in sending e-mail from VFP? I can't believe I'm the only one who has run into this problem.
