- For obvious reasons I can't speak for cc:Mail or DaVinci, but for Microsoft
- Mail it is a breeze.

- Examples come for C and VB, but WordBasic and Excel Macro solutions are
- also included. Basically if you can call a DLL from some enviroment
- then you can be mail enabled.

-
- The documentation and sample code come with Mail 3.0, the runtime (MAPI.DLL)
- is a core part of each Mail 3.0 or Windows for Workgroups product. I have
- used both C++ and VB. For TPW you will need to translate the .h or .txt
- files but that's not uncommon.
