Outlook Express - sending e-mail from the command line

Question

What is the best way to send e-mail using outlook express from the command line? It has to be an automated operation with no user interaction. There will be some .jpg files in attachment. Thanks.

Solution 1

Does it really need to use Outlook Express to send the email?

Can't you use a third-party command line email tool or do you need it to use Outlook Express' settings and for the mails to end up in the Sent folder?

If you can use a third-party tool, something like absoluteTools SendMail CMD might do the job.

Solution 2

Perhaps this post is helpful. It speaks pre-populating a new e-mail message and including a file.
