I have many apps that let me send information via e-mail by way of my
default mail handler, Outlook 2002. One of these apps is, um, why Word or
Excell 2002! And to create the document and choose from the File Menu, Send
works well as well. But here is my problem.

The docuement stays in my Outbox until I actually launch Outlook and the
Send/Receive happens.

How can I make the Send part happen without having to start/launch Outlook?

Thanks,

You can't. Until Outlook is launched the SMTP engine isn't started so the
message can't be sent.

I guess you could get a different SMTP mailer, install that and make it your
default e-mail program but you'll probably have the same problem.

Nope!! Outlook Express worked just the way I described. I need Outlook for
now for certain "features" in my work.

Thanks anyway,
