From the DOS prompt being in the office11 folder when I execute the above

populated and notice the error.
'body' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I also swapped subject and body as follows. Now I get the following error.

Let me know what is wrong with the above commands.
Thanks

Ok, in playing around, try quotes around the last string:
cmd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c ipm.note
/m "(e-mail address removed)?subject=something&body=something"

I have winxp/sp2 and office 2003/sp1. I read the following article.
Eventhough office 2003 is not affected by this I am not sure Microsoft
removed this functionality due to this vulnarability.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-009.mspx
The strange thing is from Start-Run window if I type
mailto:myalias?subject=test&body=test, this opens up a new outlook
message window with To, Subject and Body populated.
I have winxp/sp2 and office 2003/sp1 - so it's possible that sp1 is
required. I never used the subject/body command on a shortcut - I use
them in mailto's only - so i can't say if they were broken in rtm. I
know that in RTM, multiple commands that worked in older versions
failed - things like /m /a . I guess I should check to see if they are
fixed in SP1... nope. Still broken.

Tnanks Diane. When I run your command (in a single line) from the DOS
prompt I am getting the following error.
;[email protected]?subject=something&body=something
'body' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This happens on WIN 2K + Office 2K3 and WIN XP Pro + Office 2K3
machines. Do I need to install any SPs?
tia
this works for me: (all one line)
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c ipm.note
/m (e-mail address removed);[email protected]?subject=something&body=something

What is switch in OUTLOOK 2003 to specify the SUBJECT and BODY? In
OL 2000 /m switch allows to specify
mailto:email?subject=something&body=something etc. This DOES NOT
work in OL 2003. Any1 has any idea why this won't work?
