I just need to send a mail of simple html content.. i dont need to do
anything wiht outlook components..

I just want it to open a new compose with gn. texts just filled.. that is..
like just body,to,subject filled..

I want to minimise resources.. so i configured Simple MAPI but it didnt have
HTML..

So i went on to Extended MAPI.. but it had the dependency edk.h which is not
supported..

So i need to know which is the best thing.. it needs to run in MAC os as
well.. ?

One extremely easy solution is to use the mailto protocol, but the size of
the message is quite limited for that. Also, the mailto protocol does not
allow specification of the destination ("To");

Why not use straight SMTP?

Also, getting HTML through mailto: will require mime-encoding it, at
least the way most clients handle mailto.

I've heard that it is easy to do with CDO.. but its in a windows MFC
program.. when i click a particular menuitem i want it to send a html page..
if there is a sample program of sending HTML through CDO.. would be very
useful..

Which CDO? CDO 1.21? Or CDOSYS?
Why can't you use CDO in an MFC app?
If it is an MFC app, how would it run on Mac?

I suppose, but that is done by the email program; it is nothing we need to
be concerned about. The following should work; it worked for me before I
copied and pasted it.

mailto:who@a.b?subject=test&body=%3Cbody%3E%3Cem%3EHello%3C/em%3E%3C/body%3E

MFC supports the Mac; at least older versions of MFC did.
