Doesn't work
By peter on Thursday, July 15, 2004 (PST)

When I try to use this code, I get an error that says "Automation Server can't create object." I get this error on the line omapi = new ActiveXObject("MAPI.Session"); Any idea about the cause? I have outlook 2000 installed, btw.

For older clients

Peter,

Sorry I missed you posting this comment.

This is for systems with the older MAPI client loaded. Such as Oulook 98.

I recommend using the CDO method for newer systems or using wsInetTools.SMTP to send email.
