    ShellExecute Email Question

    Ok, I've kinda run into a wall with this and can't quite figure out what I need to do to make this work... I'm using shellexecute to open the user's default email program and insert an email address, subject and body into the email. This is where my problem comes in... The body that I am inserting is multiple lines long, but when I insert it into the email program it comes out as one continuous line without any line breaks. Is there a way to make this work while still using ShellExecute ? If not can you suggest a better way ? Thanks a bunch...

    Looks pretty darned unintuitive: from the looks of it you actually put the values of CR and LF in as Hex in a string: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...e+email+vbcrlf

    You could always try making your own email program in vb using the mapi controls.

    Nightwalker, I've thought about using MAPI, and also Winsock and actually tried to add both into my program when I couldn't get shellexecute to work the way I wanted it, but I decided against using them for various reasons. I tested them both out, but decided it simply isn't the best way to go with the program I'm working on.
