hi all,
i want to send a mail form my Java/JSP application in such a format so
that when the recepient receives the mail in Microsoft Outlook, he gets
a popup window.
then after 'Save and Close' option, the details of the mail should get
updated in the calendar of outlook.
which APIs should i use and what are the steps i should follow?
thanx in advance
 
You can't force a popup unless the user has configured their machine to do
that.
 
You need to use the iCalendar or vCalendar specification to create a multipart MIME message like those that Outlook sends for meeting requests to Internet recipients. See http://www.imc.org/pdi/
