Revmail problems on Windows 8

[Skip Kimpel]

David,

A lot has to do with what email client is installed on that machine and if it is open and running.  For consistent results, I usually call a VB script to create the email and then send it to the users Outlook client.  I didn't write it but I would be more than happy to share it if you are interested.

So far, apart from the usual font faff, the deployment platform hasn’t given me any real headaches.  However, a week before roll out I have learned that a button designed as a last resort call for help doesn’t work.  I had carefully tested all the complex stuff, but hadn’t bothered with this because it was a single line of script:
