Thanks Fredrik, That was my first impression too. But all I want to do is use Python to instruct Outlook Express to send an email. That way the user would not have to do any setting up etc of the mail server properties etc and Outlook Express will magage all the connection side of things.
I have seen other python scripts that will talk to Excel etc but so far (despite a lot of searching) I cannot see how Python can talk to Outlook Express. I know I can do this in Clarion by accessing MapiSendEmail but because I'm new to Python I don't know how to do it in Python. I'm really impressed with the power of Python. It seems just about anything you can think of is there already so I know th eanswer is out there somewhere! Can this be done using Python? Does anyone have a sample script please? Pretty please?? <grin> Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
