to open outlook mail from java program and to attach file to the mail from directory

Question

I need to implement Email functionality in my Java application which will open microsoft outlook and attach a file from my directory. Has any implemented the same?

Answer 1

According to these docs the command you need is

"path/to/Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /a "path/to/attachment""

Assemble this and run it via ProcessBuilder

(Or listen to MarcoS who gives a very good example of why it's sometimes better not to literally answer questions :-))
