I want to run a program to gather some information and then send it to
outlook. Is there a way to do that?
 
Yes. I want to write a REXX exec to gather data and send the results to
outlook as an email.
 
Then you may want to ask a group that supports programming for REXX to see
what you need to do to send the output. Outlook can accept a lot of items
via email but if you are sending a potentially harmful attachment, it may
be blocked. The limitations, it seems, would be on the REXX side of the
equation.

Well, since Outlook is a mail client, you can't "send the message to
Outlook". You can, however, send the message to the _server_ from which
Outlook will obtain the message, provided REXX has the capability of sending
messages.
