email problems

[masonad]

I was using ShellExecute for group emailing then found out that it fails after about 30 addresses in the "To:" section. Is there a work around to this problem?

Next I tried the approach of creating an outlook application object. I haven't had any luck finding a help topic that describes the various properties of this approach. I need for the email to be displayed not sent to the outbox. Is there something I can state other than "objOutlookMsg.Send" to get the message to display rather than go to the outbox?

send 30 at a time? your mails will find their way into a lot of junk bins anyway..

i'd actually be tempted to send them one at a time to avoid the junking, even if it does stress the mail server a little more. plus, you dont end up wth veryone knowing everyone elses email address. while you might not care, if one of those emails gets forwarded somewhere, it could end up with you block of addresses going round the world several times and falling into the hands of a spam company..
