Hi all  
If we want to open the outlook & write in it , we use the command

outlook = WIN32OLE.new(‘Outlook.Application’).

message = outlook.CreateItem(0)

message.Subject = ‘Double-Header Today’  
message.Body = ‘This is the message body.’  
message.To = ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’  
message.Recipients.Add ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’  
message.Recipients.Add ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’  
#The second argument, 1, indicates that this is an attached file, rather  
than a #link to the original file.  
message.Attachments.Add(‘c:\Update Ruby gems.txt’, 1)  
message.Send

But in case if we want to write the message in already opened Outlook  
mail, wht should we do ☹

I am hvng no clue regarding it. please suggest.

thnks in advance
