Does anyone know command line syntax to call OE to send
mail from a UNIX Korn shell script that is run on a Win2K
server? We run the ksh script in a sh.exe environment.
The UNIX script sends mail like this:

mail -s "$myhost - $mail_header" $outmail <
$commondir\outgoingmail

Need to substitute mail -s with command to call Outlook
Express. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
