Noting that, according to

at least OE4 physically replaced the system Mapi32.dll with its own version
that spoke only Simple MAPI, when OE was selected as the default email
program.  As a result, all "real" MAPI and CDO apps failed.  Things may have
improved since then (OE is at version 6 now, I believe), but OE4 looks
hopeless for this reason.  Rummaging around, I get the *impression* that
they've solved the conflicting DLL problem, but that OE is still restricted
to Simple MAPI.
