Hi Bill,

>> I'm having a project, part of it would be sending e-mails (with attachments)using GroupWise. Did you solve your problems? Could you please point me in the right direction to start (which class to use, any problems, etc.). Some code would be really appreciated.

I've been on the phone with Novell Support around 6 times, each time trying something different, and nothing seems to work. For what it's worth, the ShellExecute("mailto:") command looks at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command setting to determine what program to call to send the e-mail. After uninstalling and reinstalling GroupWise 5 times, it still stubbornly refuses to set this to anything to do with GroupWise. Even if I completely delete the registry entry, it does nothing to set it to GroupWise.

If that isn't acceptable to them (and somehow, I don't think it will be), I have the wonderful task of rewriting my program's e-mail link to circumvent the ShellExecute command and registry entry.

I've just checked this registry item by myself. On my local computer I have:
""C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSMN.EXE" /mailurl: %1"
I tried yesterday Nigel's class and it worked perfectly with Outlook Express. Now I have to check some other computers as well to find, what's the info in the registry for them. I know, that in our company all users use GroupWise and most of them never bothered to configure Outlook Express right, so even if Outlook Express would be the default mail client for them, I guess, it would not work.

Anyway, could you please share your sad experience in details (I mean, could you please send me some samples of the code you wrote in order for me to not repeat all these steps).

Thanks in advance.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
