The function was implemented in lingo so you could easily extend it
to work under specific configurations and future mail softwares, as
there is no global location on Windows where such info is being stored.
It is using the help of FileIO and DirectOS Xtras.
FileIO Xtra comes free with Director. A trial version of DirectOS Xtra
is included in the DirectEmail Xtra sample movie.
If you wish to use the GetUserEmailPref() function in your
application(s), you'll have to license DirectOS Xtra as well in order
to obtain the Run-time version that can be used with projectors, or
modify the function to work with other similar Xtras.
It doesn't necessarily has to be DirectOS.
If you don't use the GetUserEmailPref() function you have no need for
DirectOS Xtra.
