Email through outlook

[hag]

Hello all:

I would like to email some information directly from my app. However I would like the program to open outlook and have the subject automatically appear on subject line and a link placed into the text.
I have some code now it automatically mails me error log messages. But it doesnt open the email so the user can add some comments.
Suggestions and code please. Thanks in advance.

This is a working sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, "mailto:e.m.giordano@emagsoftware.it?subject=This is a test&body=www.emagsoftware.it", 0, 0, 1 )

    RETURN NIL

Harvey,

Enrico's solution will work, or if you are using the DEFINE MAIL syntax just add FROM USER to get the new message dialog to appear.

Regards,
James

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "Mail.ch"

lUseCC:=.f.
endif

lDirectSend:=.f.
endif

if cSubject=NIL
cSubject:=""
endif

if aFiles=NIL
aFiles:=array(0,0)
endif

lMailMancante:=.f.
for i:=1 to len(aTo)
if len(alltrim(aTo[i,2]))=0
lMailMancante:=.t.
