Email from command line

[Guest]

Is there a way to send a email message to a specific user from the command
line?. I have Outlook 2003.

Thanks a lot.

Do you want to do this without Outlook or do you want a command that brings
up an open email with the user's name in the To line already?

Start > Run > mailto: (e-mail address removed) will open up an active email to that
email address.

Try this:
OUTLOOK.EXE -c IPM.Note /m <email address>

Excellent suggestion, I'd forgotten about the switch. Is it -c or /c though?

Look in Help, Ms. Orland!

Mr. Tillman,
That was my rather subtle way of asking if the posted had made an error in
typing out the command since I believe it should be /c from what I read.
So don't get snippy with me, young man! ~~~~~

Actually, I believe -c works as well (except for Outlook 2002 Turkish
versions, although there's a hotfix for it).

I wasn't being snippy. I was just poking a little fun and I thought you'd
see it, but apparently I was too subtle. Sorry.

I was razzing you as well, no need to apologize!

Well, I am very sorry, I did not explain the whole case. The proposed
solution works but I need something more specific.

I have a batch file that runs some silence tasks on the pc, at the end of
the batch file I want to implement a notification email to the user to let
him know the outcome of the process. Everithing must be silent and with no
user intervencion. Any ideas??

Thanks a sorry again guys.

Not sure you can do this from Outlook, but you can try our email scheduler
(http://www.lbetoolbox.com/scheduleemail.htm) which will allow you to send
multiple individual emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as
a one-off or regularly at a specified time and interval

Try it out, look at the command line arguments created by the scheduler,
then just copy that into your batch file.
