[AccessD] Automated EMAIL in Access/Outlook

I have an Access 2003 db that has a text field in it with email address in
the text field.  I've checked the archives and Google, but can't find the
answer to my questions.  I have 2 questions.

 

1.  Is there a way that I can click on the email field and have Outlook 2003
start up and let me create an email and send it?

 

2.	Monthly I send out a newsletter email.  Can I run an access query
and then have outlook send out an email to all of the email addresses that
are in the recordset.

 

3.  What type of Access data type field should I have the email address
stored in.

 

Thanks for your help
