Integrate Outlook in App

Is it possible to have my VB.Net 2005 program open a new outlook email
window, let the user enter their email and then if the send button is
hit, to have my VB program capture what was in the email?

Basically I need to add the email to a log in the tracking system.

Thanks
Chris

Maybe. Easier IMO to write an email window of your own and then 'send' that
message to Outlook.

yes, I thought about that... Just didn't want to lose the spell check
and all those nice outlook features.

thanks for your thoughts
