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.

Bill,

Our system administrator just sent me a program called mailtogr.exe. After running this program now I have this entry in my registry:
"c:\Novell\GroupWise\\grpwise.exe/ddeex/bl" Is it what we should have in registry for GroupWise?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
