Or use a different program to send. JMail, for instance will allow you to do things such as this. http://tech.dimac.net

OLEXP: How to Send Outlook Express Mail from a Command Line:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q192341

There is no provision there to add an attachment, unfortunately. The only choice that would work would be to use a template to send mail.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped. No one gets paid to help here, and the response rate from those that are helped is less than 4-5%. If that were how medical advancements were made we would all have died years ago. Thanks.

Everyone - thanks for your input so far, and using 'mailto:' from a command
line is getting me there about 95% of the way - everything but attachments.
I want to be able to attach a file to the email. By all the web searching
I've done:

mailto:test@xxxxxxxxx?subject=test&body=hello&attachment="c:\test.dat";

Should work, but it doesn't with Outlook Express 6. (I've also tried every
sort of syntax that I can think of in the 'attachment' part). Everything
else works great. I've also been reading that this sort of thing has worked
in the past with Outlook, but doesn't on some versions (the more recent
ones). Does anyone have any information about whether or not "mailto" with
OE 6 actually works, and if so, what the syntax would be?

I wondered if the original data source did not have the sort specified - in some circumstances, Word will not replace the original data source when you save the document, in which case you would always be opening the mail merge main document with an unsorted data source. ... when you connect to an Outlook Contacts folder in this way, Word always prompts for the name of the contacts folder/address book name. ... FWIW, I wouldn't expect the sequence in Outlook and the "unsorted sequence" in Word to be the same - although they /might be/, your sorted sequence in Outlook may be a view on an underlying sequence which you never see - perhaps sequence the items were created or another sequence altogether. ...
