[IronPython] Stubbing out a MAPI DLL

[Daniel D.]

There are very few good MAPI libraries. The only one that worked more
or less reliably for me is this Redemption
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/). Because it's so difficult to
find a MAPI lib for your language, it's easier to wrap Redemption into
into a .Net app and wrap IronPython scripting into that on the other
side.

Trial version of Redemption prepends "UNREGISTERED" to subject lines
on email objects it creates and nags you every time you start Outlook
/ MAPI client. Yet, it's a good place to start if it will work for
you.

Daniel.
