Ouch.
I was afraid of that.
Oh, well, back to the drawing board.
Yeah, revMail won't do the job here because we need to be able to send HTML mail and attachments. Shao Sean's libEmail/libSmtp combo works great and does exactly what I need but requires the user's SMTP info to send the email.
So for now at least it appears I can't automate this. That's after spending about six hours getting all the libSmtp stuff working.
Oh, well, I'm sure the learning will come in handy someday!

There's *nothing* in the Windows registry that would give you this. It's application dependent - you'd have to figure out the default mail app and then get the app-specific info from that. You *can* do that through the registry if you need it, but it's less than generic. I take it you need something that the standard revMail commands or a mailto: url won't do for you?
FWIW, my smtp server can be extracted from the default user stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Default mailto User
The default application ("M:\thebat.exe" %1) is in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command
but getting from here to there absent any other information is anything but a slam dunk. Note that my mail app is stored on a network drive rather than locally, just to throw another monkey wrench into the works.
