Copying emails from Clipboard to Eudora?

I use an Excel spreadsheet as a client and product management system. One of the things I do with it (via Visual Basic and macros) is to format an email and copy it to the Clipboard. I can then open Eudora, select "New Message" and paste the pre-formatted email -- then I'm ready to go except for the Mailto: and Subject: lines. I handle this by formating them as the first two lines in the e-mail, which I then Cut and Paste into the appropriate spots.

My question is: Is there any way to accomplish any (or all) of these steps automatically? i.e. send the formatted email to Eudora, with the subject and recipient fields already filled in?

I do not want to replace Eudora in the process, because I want the outgoing email available for review in the Eudora mailbox when the resulting incoming answer comes back.

All help greatly appreciated.

Rlingen, I'm sure that you've got this problem resolved by now, but just in case you haven't, here's my two cents worth:

I use (now WordPerfect) Quattro Pro. With QP the lest command under the "File" menu is "Send to". When you click on that you get a second menu which contains "Mail"; when you click on that it opens Eudora and has the spreadsheet already attached as an Attachment. This is if you have Eudora set up as "POP"; if you have it set up for "IMAP" it then does the above but pasted whatever you got highlighted on the spreadsheet into your Eudora outgoing message sheet. I'm sure that Excel has some ratled commands that will do the same for you. Especially look in the commands having to do with using scanned material. Good luck and let me know how it all turned out.
