Hi,

I'm writing a dll that will be used by VB. One of tghe functions receives a VB
string (a BSTR) as a parameter that willbe used by some MAPI functions.

The problem is that BSTRs are unicode and AFAIK MAPI doesn't expect addresses
to be in Unicode.  How can I convert it into single byte encoding?
