As part of my tedious morning routine I send out emails to a dozen recipients
, each email containing a different set of PDF reports for the users. I would
love it if I can somehow automate this process via a script. Is there a
preconfigured script out there that I can feed a user's email address, an
email subject, and a list of attachments (that will always be in a set
location) and fire them off? I took Visual Basic in college so I have a
working knowledge of how programs work, so if I see a basic shell I can
modify it without much trouble. Thanks a lot!

PS- I've heard there's a way to do it with CDO code directly to the SMTP
server but I'd rather have something run through Outlook so that it shows up
in my Sent folder as if I generated the email manually. This is necessary
since I sometimes have to resend these report emails in case the originals
get lost.
