I can create and send an outlook express email msg in Excel VBA using:

HLink = "mailto: . . ." & "Subject= . . . " & "body= . . ."
FollowHyperLink(HLink)
SendKeys

I would now like to crate and send messages using my Hotmail account from
Excel VBA. Is there a way to do this?

As an alternative to using Hotmail, is there a way to set the "From" email
address when using outlook express email?

thanks.
