We import mbox files into our database (easy enough) and add tags, etc.,
to tie them to our project management. We want to continue to use TB to
send and receive email. What I don't know how to do is initiate a new
email, either new, forward or a reply. Are there built in ways to do
this? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
If not I guess I need a developer to help with this task. Are the
"jobs" groups a decent place to advertise for this?
Thanks all

Call from Outlook / MS environment:
ShellExecute(0&, "Open", _
"mailto:" + contactStr + "?cc=" + CC + "?bcc=" + BCC + _
"&Subject=" + subject + "&Body=" + body, "", "", 1)
with :
contactStr= "fir...@wed.yy,seco...@asd.cvb
CC = "fir...@web.xx,seco...@gmx.xx"
BCC = "firs...@web.de,seco...@gmx.xx"
subject = "test ..."
body = "any text infos etc"
Windows Api-Function(delphi) to call the standardmailprogram:
Shellexecute(Handle,nil ,PChar(s) ,PChar('mailto:' + first + '?bcc=' +
all),nil , SW_ShowNormal);
This delphi example has been written by someone else, .. i don't know
about that.
NOTE: be sure to use comma as separator between names OR you will have
erroneous settings in TB.

How hard is it going to be for me to find someone who could write a dll
or something that can do this?

Perhaps you could overlay part of the compose window code that's invoked
from the command line to check if it needs to get its data from a
message in your project management database, and do a reply/forward
instead of a new message. I'm thinking of something like
MsgComposeCommands.js's ComposeStartup method. The project management
software could write the info to a little file somewhere, and the
extension could check for that file when ComposeStartup is called, and
hijack the compose window to do the right thing.
