I wrote an GUI-based application in VS 6.0 using C++/MFC.
In there, one of the buttons is supposed to send a list of
files to someone. Right now the button uses CMC to find
the mail application and use that to email someone. As
CMC does not work for Outlook 2000 and above, this is not
a solution for the future.

There are many technologies, most of which seem to change
Outlook to do something. Which one should I be looking
at? I need to support all OS from Windows 98 to XP.

MAPI
Simple MAPI
CDO

I am looking for the implementation that will result in
the least change to the legacy code.

Thanks!
Please email me at (e-mail address removed) with any
suggestions.
 
Extended MAPI is what Microsoft recommends and is not subject to security prompts.
