OutLook express - Help

[RudyL]

I am opening a link for an email address. To do this I open Outlook Express. My question is how do I pass the email address so that a message opens up like in micrsoft word??

example,

Open word, Press <Ctrl> K, then enter an email address. Then press ok..

No click on that link on the page and outlook express will open up a new message form with the email address already displayed...

How can I do this???

Thank you, any help is appreciated!

Is it important that Outlook Express actually launches? You can automate it using MAPI controls. I can send you an example of what I am talking about if you like. Just need an email address to send it to...

That would be great! My email is [email protected]


Thanks,
Rudy

I am still courious as to how word calls up outlook express and is able to plug the email adress into the "to" field...

All I know is it accomplishes the task it was meant for.

Hope it helps.

F.Y.I.

I figured it out...

in the shell execute instead of using "msimn.exe" put "mailto:[email protected]"
and leave the directory path blank or null (0&)

Thanks for the help,
