To use the
Simple MAPI functions, compile your source code with MAPI.H. MAPI.H contains
definitions for all of the functions, return value constants, and data types.
To call a Simple MAPI function, load MAPI.DLL and use the Win32 GetProcAddress
function to acquire an entry point. The function calling conventions should be
FAR PASCAL.
All strings passed to all MAPI calls and returned by
all MAPI calls are null-terminated and must be specified in the current
character set or code page of the caller s operating system process.
