Outlook 2003 SP3 command line syntax

[Steve]

I would like to know the syntax to start outlook from a command line. The
command line would open an .oft, insert the email address and subject; and
insert one or more attachments.

Thanks for the assistance!

You can look up the available command-line switches by searching Outlook Help for "command-line switches." However, I don't think they cannot be combined to do what you want to do. You could write VBA code instead; see http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=49 to get started.

OK. Can an .oft form be opened and then insert the recipient's email address?

The /t and /m switches apparently do not play well together.
