I am trying to send an email from within Excel VBA. I am currently
using a Shell command because I just want the email to open so the user
has the option to click send or do whatever else. I have 2 questions:

1.) If I use the shell command method, is there a way to check and see
if the email message is ready? Does it have a ready state to poll?

2.)If I use the .sendmail method, is there a way to have the email
brought up in a window?

Hi lcoreyl

1)
I don't understand this one
I have some Shell example code here

2)
.SendMail "", "This is the Subject line"

don't fill in the address

If you use Outlook code then use Display in the code
See my site for examples
