Microsoft Office applications like Excel and Outlook support 'automation' where, let's say Outlook, can be called from within another program using the CREATEOBJECT() command. This command [x= CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.application")] would start Outlook. Subsequent commands can populate the email recipient, subject, body, add any attachments and display Outlook fully ready for additional comments. Is there an add-on that will allow Thunderbird to support automation?
