Hello all,

I am trying to figure out how I can generate an Outlook message with
voting buttons from the command line. This is so that people who
receive the message can reply easily with an accept or reject message.
However the email will be sent from an automated process so the buttons
have to be scripted.

Thanks in advance!

Voting is built-in for versions 2000 and above. Is there a reason you
wanted it the way you requested vs. using the built-in feature?

The buttons need to be generated by an automated script not by someone
using a client. I'm trying to find out if this is even possible.

Thanks,

Yes, it's possible, by using standard Outlook automation methods. (Voting buttons are controlled by the MailItem.Actions collection.) The main problem with your scenario may be that you will encounter security prompts when you try to send messages automatically; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for solutions.
