For obvious reasons I can't speak for cc:Mail or DaVinci, but for Microsoft
Mail it is a breeze.

Examples come for C and VB, but WordBasic and Excel Macro solutions are
also included.  Basically if you can call a DLL from some enviroment
then you can be mail enabled.

The documentation and sample code come with Mail 3.0, the runtime (MAPI.DLL)
is a core part of each Mail 3.0 or Windows for Workgroups product.  I have
used both C++ and VB.  For TPW you will need to translate the .h or .txt
files but that's not uncommon.
