hmmm... Well then I see this as a reason to request functionality to an upcoming new version of KiXtart.

Thanks for the idea of your HABobjects.DLL but for what I really wanted it for it really has to be something that is either native to KiXtart or native to 2000/XP.

I guess for now I'll just manually input my mail server address and wait for KiXtart to support such a feature, or perhaps look further into WSH as Richard suggests.
