Thanks, your answer is in fact very helpful, since I don't know enough about
|
|
MAPI yet to figure out which way to go (in terms of least effort). Perhaps

when I'm done I can help w/ the python extensions - if I ever return alive!
|
|
|
|
BTW, pythonwin is a very neat job. Someday I hope it will make VB go away ...
