Platform is outlook 2000. Any feedback is highly
appreciated.

1) add two drop downs into the window that is opened when
viewing an email message (receieved, responding,
creating). The drop downs will get populated each time
the view mail window is opened, and they will get thier
data from a sql server db exposed over the internet.
::how to add two drop down menus to the window?

2) after selecting values from the dropdowns in number 1
above, they can click a custom button (next to the two
drop downs) that will take all the data from the email
(from,to,subject,etc...) and the attachments, and the
drop downs, and submit them accross the internet to
upload them to the web server for processing.

submits the data?

3) when clicking this button in 2 above, a routine must
first be run to see if the email address exists in the
usres table (inside the db accross the internet) and if
it does not, then it should prompt them to open a webpage
to add the user first. then they close the webpage and
click the button again.
::generally how to do this?

4) their is also one other requirement where if the
outlook user is sending a new mail or replying to an
existing one, they should be able to select from another
webdb populated drop down that if they select from this,
it will grab a big string of text from the db (accross
the internet) and populate the body of the email with
this text.
::generally how to do?
