Sorry for misdirecting you. I forgot PMMail was coded by amateurs and 
does not check for _any_ return code it ever gets. Instead it prefers to 
talk to that infamous Dr. Watson ... :-(

For your purposes its totally sufficient to patch ".\TEMP\TEMP.RTF" to 
"C:\PMM\TEMP.RTF". In the professional version you should find this 
string at 0xA44AC.

Regards,
