VBA Mailer overview
With the new Outlook version the ability to send emails from your Office applications is lost. VBA Mailer not only fills in the gap, but has added important new features:
- A wizard to easily set up the email processes for common scenarios in Excel and MS Access.
- Easy writing of HTML emails in the template editor.
- A transparent way of encoding the message body in VBA.
VBA Mailer has implemented its COM object model following its precursor with the objective of allowing easy automated migration of macros that currently use Outlook VBA.
