e-mail from a script

[Wraith]

How can I write a script that will send an e-mail, e.g. for sending responses to a questionaire back?

Thanx

J have never done this, you would have to try it for yourself:

The most current way of Microsoft to solve this problem is by using "Collaboration Data Object CDO". Start reading the doc at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/cdo/_olemsg_quick_start.htm (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/cdo/_olemsg_active_messaging_legal.htm>http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/cdo/_olemsg_active_messaging_legal.htm</a>.

Actually)

You should be able to instantiate CDO from within the WSH.

Thanks, that was useful, but i can't get it to work through outlook express, it wants to use outlook. is there any way arround this? I either get an error saying that "there is no mail client, or that outlook isn't the default client", and/or a runtime error saying that it "couldn't create object 'MAPI.session'"


Thanks
Robert

CDO is recent stuff and may not be installed with OE (yet), in this case use you should use MAPI.

MAPI documentation starts at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/mapi/_mapi1book_adding_a_send_command_to_an_application .htm (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?PP=/library/toc/psdk/messaging/messaging0-2-1.xml&tocPath=messaging0-2-1&URL=/library/psdk/mapi/_mapi1book_finding_what_you_need.htm>http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?PP=/library/toc/psdk/messaging/messaging0-2-1.xml&tocPath=messaging0-2-1&URL=/library/psdk/mapi/_mapi1book_finding_what_you_need.htm</a>

MAPI)
