Hi Andy:

I am not sure what the specific issue is but here are a couple of sites that
I have checked out in the past:

Hi Jim
Don't see how I can explain further really. The problem is sending a text
message to a mobile from Outlook rather than an email to an email address.
Or am I missing something obvious?
