I can see no easy way to do this. Though you can access the default mail
client using a registry key (I don't have enough win32 programming
experience to do this), there is no guarantee that the email client is a COM
server. Even Outlook Express is not a COM server. What if the user has
configured Eudora or something like that?
The best we can do is use Outlook Express settings and send the mail.

The final script that you pasted:
=====
import win32com.client
s = win32com.client.Dispatch('CDO.Message')
s.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
s.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
s.Subject = "The subject"
cdoSourceOutlookExpress = 2
s.Configuration.Load(cdoSourceOutlookExpress)
s.Send()
=====
works fine for me. According to CDO.Message documentation, if IIS is
installed that configuration will be used by default, followed by OE
configuration. I don't have IIS installed, so the script picked up the OE
configuration automatically for me. Here's a variation of the above
script.
======
import win32com.client
s = win32com.client.Dispatch('CDO.Message')
c = win32com.client.Dispatch('CDO.Configuration')
cdoSourceOutlookExpress = 2
c.Load(cdoSourceOutlookExpress)
s.Configuration = c
s.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
s.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
s.Subject = "The subject"
s.Send()
======
If that doesn't help, I give up :-(.
