The following code will send an e-mail via Outlook to the specified (; separated) recipients, with the specified text as a subject. Body text, (; separated) attachments and a source folder for attachments are optional. You can embed a display name for the attachments by adding ***displayname to the filename (see example below). Without this the filename itself will be displayed. An example call would be:
SendEMail "test_subject", "mike@mikethornton.com;elliot@mikethornton.com", "test_body",ötest1.txt***Summary;test2.txt***detailö,öC:\temp\ö
