launch URL does not open Outlook

[runrev260805 at m-r-d.de]

Hi Mark,

i remember, that i had a similar problem some time ago here under windows. The problem was, that text bigger than about 1500 characters could not be sent completely to the mail client. It was cut off at about 1500 characters.
I am not sure for what reason, but i t didn´t work. Maybe a mapi32.dll thing.

To get my app release in time i decided to use Shao Sean´s SMTP-library, which sends the email directly without Outlook. 

I use the library quiet often in my projects, because i am creating report software with automatic email delivery, which should run unattended.

Don´t know, if this helps, but hope so.

Regards,

Matthias
