Re: Emailing from Oracle Froms with Groupwise

Thanks, your advice helped, I had my pc reimaged to get rid of all of the Outlook tentacles and now my email does send correctly thru groupwise. Now I'm back to trying to figure out why after the email is sent I'm getting a Windows Messaging Subsystem error that the MAPI Spooler had unexpectedly shutdown. Any ideas?
