Actually, if you notice, the cURL line has a property called cAspPage. This would suggest that a ASP page is being called to process the send mail request. The ASP page must have a object to preform something like CDONTS control. The problem maybe that at times of the day, the mail server at the host end is getting hit with alot of mail, filling up the mail queue. This would slow down the delivary of the Dean's clients mail at times.

What do think?

>If I'm not mistaken, it looks like MAILTO: protocol to me. See Re: Launching Outlook Express Message #962417. Basicly, it opens default email client on user PC with fields populated from parameters of the MAILTO: command. After that is up to user what to do with it.
