Re: STRPCCMD - MAIL TO

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The mailto: URI does not allow you to separate e-mail addresses with 
semicolons.  Please use commas instead.  For example:

mailto:president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,vp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Test

This URI should work fine with ShellExec.  So you should be able to do:

rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL mailto:...etc...

I don't have a Vista box to test it with, but I would guess that this 
still works on Vista.  (Why wouldn't it?)

The big roadblock you'll run into is that you're using STRPCCMD -- which 
is REAAAAALLLY not designed for this.  STRPCCMD has a 123 character 
limit.  And since the string "rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL mailto:" 
already occupies 42 characters, that leaves you with only about 80 
characters in which to fit "a HUGE list of email addresses"

So I would suggest scrapping the STRPCCMD idea and use custom-written 
software.
