Hello

In this age of spam, is it possible to send an email automatically from
excel without 1) user response 2) using Outlook Express' lower security
standards? Can DOS accommodate a "mail" command (as would BASH)?

Thanks

End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Nachricht As String
' Force Newline with %0D%0A !
Message = "Hello" & "%0D%0A" & "World!"

End Sub
