Hi All, who had an example of sending an email from an addin?

[Mike M.]

I can't seem to remember.

Thanks.

It is not 100% reliable, but you can use the
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Special Email from PPT
format in a hyperlink to activate the 'default' mail program. It requires
user intervention to activate the hyperlink.

Is this what you were looking for?

I've tried to do this several ways -
(this being sending an e-mail back to the author
after hitting a hyperlink - forgive me, but your
question was a bit cryptic).

The easiest way for me seems to be to hyperlink to a word file.
On the word file, you can ask all sorts of questions, plus give
directions on how to e-mail a word file. Also I give the e-mail address
and suggest that if they can't understand my directions on how to
e-mail a word file (I'm sure you can understand why ... )
that they just copy all the text in the file, click on the address
then paste it into the e-mail.
The results have been fine.

Ooohhh! That was a low blow Steve. You can't imagine the memories that
article dredged up. Hocking my favorite watch for treatment just one of
them.

Thanks for the idea. The machine I am using doesn't have Outlook installed
(Windows Server 2003). So what I did was install IIS SMTP service. Then I
can just format a text file properly and drop in the pickup folder and away
she goes!

Thanks for the memories and code.

Not really but I managed to figure out a method using SMTP services and it's
pickup folder.

Thanks for the suggestion Bill.

I posted before I was awake hence my cryptic message. I am normally more
loquacious but dropped that one on the run. I managed to figure out a
method using SMTP services (Windows Server 2003) and it's pickup folder.

Thanks for the suggestion Pdek.

Works like a champ. You have to make sure the format is correct. Here is
an article on how to do in case you are interested:
