I'm having some trouble with that as I don't have Visual Basic.
However, I did a dirty port to A97 and found that at least this
declaration is failing:
Private Declare Function MAPISendMail Lib "MAPI32.DLL" _
Alias "BMAPISendMail" (ByVal Session&, ByVal UIParam&, _
Message As MAPIMessage, Recipient() As MapiRecip, _
File() As MapiFile, ByVal Flags&, ByVal Reserved&) As Long
as the mapi32.dll of The Bat doesn't seem to know BMAPISendMail.
If you have a working port to A97 feel free to send it to me for
testing.
