[DUG] SimpleMAPI

[Jason Coley]

The security is where Outlook Redemption comes in, it will get around
your security problems. It may be worthwhile if this is to be a large
deployment app that you check to see if Outlook is the default mail
client, then use redemption (or other ExtendedMAPI code) to get around
security warnings, and use the Object Model to automate email creation.
Using Simple MAPI only will create issues when it comes to the Outlook
Security warnings, so it is something that needs to thought through very
carefully. Each version has different security gotchas!

Hey Paul,

very minor requirements, invoking the email client to send an email with
an attachment, so that is occurring outside our application (and stored
historically with the email client).

We have added the Jedi MAPI version to our client, which is giving us
another option and works under some environments that our previous
component did not.

We also found that there was an issue with security rights for outlook
2007 when using MAPI which we can work around in the mean time.

Cheers,

Matt.
