The source is indeed the best place to start. Download a copy and take a look at the .py files in the Outlook2000 directory. If you want a gentler start, there's a simple Outlook plug-in demo included in the pywin32 distribution. Basically the plug-in accesses Outlook via COM using MAPI. The SpamBayes source shows how to do it with Python, but you could also use other languages, of course. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
