If you send the email in html format, outlook security (Outlook 2002 on
Windows XP) will let it through without any problems.

This might be an easier method of overcoming the Outlook security 
sending mail
without requiring multiple clicks. Haven't tried it but it looks easier 
than using Redemption method.

Express ClickYes

Puts an Icon in systray that captures the outlook messages
You can modify behaviour with VBA code.
