Hi easy simple method is to use early binding referencing
outlook

Dim oOutL As New Outlook.Application
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
oMail = oOutL.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
oMail.UnRead = True
oMail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
oMail.Subject = "hello"
oMail.send()


but better with late binding as its client independant

Hope this helps

Excuse me for jumping in but I have a follow up question on this technique.
When I use this method, Outlook jumps up with a dialog telling me that "A
program is trying to automatically send email on your behalf...."
Is there a way to tell outlook in 'advance' that this program is allowed to
do this?
Also, Outlook uses the default email account as the from but I can not see a
way to select a different from account - know of a way to do that?

TIA
 
I once saw how to send an email via Microsoft's Exchange Server via VB.net
2005. Where do I find the info for that. I do not know what to look under
on MSDN.

You should just be able to set the SmtpClient class to work with
Exchange, and then send the email message through that.
