"Send To > Mail Recipient as Attachment" feature of MS Word.

[tungchau81]

Hi,
I have been doing a lot programming with Word API recently. However, I
have never used much of "Send To > Mail Recipient as Attachment"
feature of MS Word. At my company, we need to programmatically pass a
Word document off to Oulook using the "Send To > Mail Recipient as
Attachment" feature of MS Word. To those who have experiences in
using this feature before, I have couple questions:

1.) How does this feature work with Lotus Notes and other email
programs?


2.) Can the email address be set in Outlook if we use the native
Word feature "Send To > Mail Recipient as Attachment"? How do we do
this programmatically?


3.) Is it possible to send a predefined content to Outlook as a
foundation for the message body ? How do we do this programmatically?
Does this require mastering Outlook API ?


Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Tung Chau

Sorry, I don't know anything about programming Lotus Notes to do anything
similar.
