EmailRunApp (Function)

In french: EmailLanceAppli

Starts the native application for sending emails found on the current computer:

Computer running Windows (using the MAPI client),
Mobile device: Android, iPhone, iPad, Universal Windows 10.

The content and the recipients of the email are initialized from the information specified in the Email structure of WLanguage.

Caution:

The application for sending emails found on the current computer must have been configured with a valid account for sending emails (SMTP).
The current directory can be modified according to the configuration of the application for sending emails.

Versions 19 and later

Remarks:

This function is based on the MAPI client installed on the computer ("Simple MAPI" is not sufficient). If the MAPI client is not found, the function searches for the default client among: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, IncrediMail, Netscape, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla.
Both the application and the MAPI client must be in 32 bits or in 64 bits. Indeed, if client is a 64-bit application, it will only be seen by the applications compiled in 64 bits (similarly, if client is a 32-bit application, it will only be seen by the applications compiled in 32 bits).
