IIRC, simple mapi uses the default email client on your system to
format and send the data. In your case, that would likely be Outlook
or OE.  In my case, it is Eudora.

If you can't configure your email client to send in the manner you
desire, then I think your better option is to go with your own code
(SMTP), which is what I did.

You should be able to find working SMTP code by Googling for it.
