Hello all.

Ray I had a look at Steve's lovely page, picked up some nice tips but
I couldn't figure out what you mean. 

Here's what I found:

To hook an external mail program into Communicator, you need to
download the API. Add the necessary code for your mail
  program, and compile it with VisualAge C++. Then add the following
lines to your prefs.js: 

  user_pref("mail.use_altmail", true);
  user_pref("mail.altmail_dll", "NSMAPI32.DLL");

Does this API actually do the job or should I refer to a PMMail API?

The POTENTIAL IS WONDERFUL but the implementation is still obscure to
me.
