Re: Offtopic: Forwarding in MS Outlook

[Karel Sprenger <cjas@xs4all.nl>]

Hi,

No help from my part (wouldn't know where to start), but I would *love* to
have MAPI access from within emacs.  Since I moved to Compaq last October I
have been obliged to work with Outlook and that is definitely *not* Gnus to
say the least.

... Time passes ...

I just remembered I saw a Perl5 Win32 package that interfaced with MAPI.
Looking through my Netscape bookmarks, I rediscovered a link to a site dealing
with Perl & Mail (http://alma.ch/perl/mail.htm), which led me to
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/8312/mail.htm which has a link
labeld as "Microsoft mail command line program (needs mapi32.dll)" to a
self-extracting archive ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/smplmapi.EXE,
that contains not only the program, but also the source code and a readme file
explaining things.

Guess that would make a good start.  Hope one of you can turn this into a MAPI
interface for emacs.  I offer a couple of free beers if you get in Amsterdam.

Cheers,
Karel
