mailTo problems

[Ken Ray]

Hugh,

You're right. I can only get this to work reliably with Outlook (not Outlook
Express or Eudora). You may need to use DDE to communicate with an already
running application. I believe Tuviah's external collection has a DLL that
will let you use DDE with other applications. The link is:

Once you get this to work, please post your final results so others can see
how you did it.

Thanks,
