Calling the user's email client on Windows
-
I want my application to interface to the user's email client application. I've currently got this working using MAPI, but, of course, not all email clients use MAPI. On my computer it calls MS Outlook, but my real email application is Netscape. I've tried PJ Naughters' SMTP class but you have to know what the user's SMTP service is called (e.g. smtp.ozemail.com.au, or whatever) and this actually bypasses their email application. I've also tried his CMC class, but CMC seems to be an ancient concept that has not continued existence. My requirement is simply to call the user's email application, supplying the "to" address and an attachment. Does anyone have any idea how to do this on Windows? (It's trivial on UNIX).
