Before WinXP came out I used a simple VB macro to call up an empty copy of my preferred e-mail form from inside OutLook without having to open the application, and one could even get past the security and have it sent directly, bypassing the OutBox hold it places on all mail now, and for apps I used almost any simple MAPI component to do the same, which also allowed me to add the recipients, sender info, subject, message body and sig, but now unless you write your own code to send it directly every component I've tried gets stopped by OutLook or maybe it's XP's security. It goes only to the OutBox. I don't know what happens if OutLook isn't installed and you just have OutLook Express because I only use that for News groups, but if you really want to handle it all yourself there was an article in the Delphi Magazine sometime last year that showed how to do this. All my back copies were in a box along with software that got stolen so I can't tell you the month but I'm sure someone else here can.

Along with many others, I only read e-mail in plain text, so any fancy graphics will not be seen, and only serve to waste bandwidth.
