I did some investigating and discovered a .NET method (framework 1.1) that
bypasses Outlook altogether, as long as you can know the address of your
SMTP server. Takes one reference and two lines of code. Sweet.
'First add a reference to System.Web
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "SMTP Server Name"
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(from:="(e-mail address removed)",
to:="(e-mail address removed)", subject:="Test", messagetext:="This be the
body.")

hi Brian,
Creating a VB application or - even better - customizing Word to do this
(notwithstanding the possible caveat noted below) is relatively simple.
Create a reference to the Outlook object model and add some code of this
nature:
Set myOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myItem = myOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With myItem
.To = strTo 'this would be your judge e-mail address
.Subject = strDocName 'the name of the file to attach
.Body = strMsg 'whatever you want it to be
.Attachments.Add strDocPath & strDocName 'the full name and path
to the document
.Send
End With
Set myOutlook = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
Set myItem = Nothing
The watching aspect can be handled with a timer control and a directory
reference in VB or you could have the e-mail automatically be sent when the
document is closed. Then when the Outlook warning appears, you would just
need to click "Yes" when you are closing the file.
***CAVEAT***
AFAIK, each time an outside application touches Outlook to generate an
e-mail, the user needs to authenticate that action to be a valid one. This
was put into effect to reduce the ability of worms and viruses to propagate
themselves silently through a user's address book. I don't believe this can
be worked around.
HTH and have a great day!

When I mail out of Word to a mail recepient one of the email addresses on
my ISP list of email addresses appears next to my name and is read by the
recepient. I want another email address on my ISP list to appear next to my
name when mailing documents out of Word. How can I make this switch?
