What I have only just remembered is that I managed to hack IE to email a link using the sendto menu. The hard part was to get Outlook to act as a command line mailer. I seem to rememeber that I had to use a "Form" to do it. The .bat file that Iinvoked from SendTo has this in it: @"c:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook" /c ipm.note.bookmark /a "%1" I assume that ipm.note.bookmark was a form that sent the link as the subject line to my home. To make this "sane" I need a little DOS SMTP client really, any suggestions? LDAP seems to be the way to go for the address book. A play over the weekend methinks.
