BUG: MapiSendMail Incorrectly Returns Success Using Outlook Form (174215)
The information in this article applies to:
- Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI)
This article was previously published under Q174215 SYMPTOMS
Using Simple MAPI under Visual C++, the MapiSendMail function should return
MAPI_E_USER_ABORT if the user aborts the Send Mail dialog box by closing or
pressing Escape. However, using the standard Outlook Send Mail form,
MapiSendMail always returns SUCCESS_SUCCESS.
RESOLUTION
If you need to get the correct return value from MapiSendMail, you must use
the "simplified form" for sending messages. You can do this by setting the
"Use simplified form to send from other applications" option in the Send
tab of the Exchange options dialog box.
You may also set the following registry key value to "1":
- For Windows NT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\
Current Version\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
Simple MAPI-CMC\SENDNOTEUI
- For Windows 95
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
Simple MAPI-CMC\SENDNOTEUI
