SUMMARY
In order for an application to communicate with, and attach files to, an e-mail application, the e-mail application must be MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) compliant. This article describes how to set some common e-mail applications to be MAPI-compliant.

NOTE: This article does not encompass all MAPI-compliant applications, nor does it imply that any application that is not mentioned is therefore not MAPI-compliant.
