Hi Nigel,

I would have used your MAPIMAIL class but the messages aren't in the inbox, and as I understand it MAPIMAIL cannot handle other folders.

I have been using MAPIMAIL in a mailshot app wot I wrote. I have a table with email addresses and I loop through calling your class for each record. Some receipients tell me that they receive 2 copies of the message, even though I am sure that each is in the list only once. Have you had any similar reports? BTW I am using Outlook Express v6.

Thanks,
Mark Hall
