Hi folks,
<snip>
There is information in the platform sdk and on msdn.microsoft.com, which mainly documents the programming interface for mapi clients and servers. Should be enough to get you seriously started, though. Some investigation of your own will probably be necessary, too.
Okay, I'll have a look at it.
BTW: are the necessary structures already defined somewhere or do I have to add them ?

c) some shorts words about what I may do and what I may not do (i.e. may I call external unix processes ? whats about fork() ?)
I can't speak for wine policies, but we (ReactOS) really like it when the code is written in a very windows-like way - don't assume you're running on unix, and it'll make it easier for us to use your work too.
hmm, I first wanted to start with a small stub which calls sendmail.
before I'd start implementing the whole framework, I'd better start writing a cross-platform-mailapi, which could replace things like libclient+co and be reused in a write range of MUAs (i personally would start with hacking it into mutt :)). this framework could also be ported to ros, and the mapi would just be a adaptor between its clients and the crossplatform messaging api.
