That is not an unreasonable expectation, but unfortunately, that is not the case. MAPI is a general-purpose email interface. The model is that there is some anonymous and faceless server that is offering to handle MAPI requests. MAPI was actually developed well before Outlook; Outlook offers MAPI services only because it is sensible for it to do so, but it's an add-on. It's not a core part of Outlook's world, and as you can see, the integration is not particularly tight. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
