Sending E-Mail using Outlook with multiple attatchments in C#

[AR]

I am a newbie in C# but have experience in other OO languages. I want to
write a COM component in C# that I can reuse in a application that we are
developing in Powerbuilder. The COM should have the ability to:
1) Open a Outlook window. When the user enters any e-mails, the outlook
should validate for the right adress using the company directory. (I guess We
dont have to code for this. Outlook can do this)
2)The Outlook window should be populated with attatchements of all the files
from a directory. The directory will be specified by the user @ runtime.
3) The user will inout the e-mail ids & will send the e-mail with the
attatchements that are populated from the directory specified.

Any clues will be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, do you *absolutely* have to include Outlook in this? Everything you
need to do can be done easily without it:

Secondly, creating an assembly in C# and making it visible to COM is also
extremely simple:
