This runs Outlook Express

#include

void Test()

{

SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo;

ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);

ShExecInfo.fMask = NULL;

ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;

ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;

ShExecInfo.lpFile = "msimn.exe";

ShExecInfo.lpParameters = NULL;

ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;

ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_MAXIMIZE;

ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;

ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);

}

BUT
I suspect you dont really want to do that, What happens if the user does not
have Outlook Express, you should really run the application that is
registered with emails.
