Hunter,

You can send email via the users MAPI client software (Outlook, OE, etc.) or via SMTP. If you do it via the user's MAPI client then you can force the mail message to be displayed so the user can add/edit it, or not. The downside is that each message will be stored in the users email system and no other users will have access to this history.

When you send via STMP the email goes directly to the SMTP server. There is no user input and there is no history unless you write this into your program. Users will have to have a SMTP server.

There is more discussion and many examples in this forum. Just search for email, mail, MAPI, SMTP.

Regards,
James
