Hi!
I want to send e-mail automatically from windows with help of "win32ole"
and outlook. I wrote two short scripts:
1. one that sends the mail and
2. one that sends the keystrokes to the outlook security alert. (the
security alert pops up, because it could be a virus which sends the
e-mail.)
Is there a possibility to combine these to scripts in one? I tried a lot
of different things, but the script hangs while outlook is waiting for
the user input. That's why I have to set up two cron-jobs. One script
would make the whole thing less error prone (no timing issues with the
cron-jobs).
Thanks for your help!

There is something online which allows you to turn off / bypass that
security feature.
Look up "Advanced Security for Outlook 1.43" by Mapilab.

An alternative to turning off the feature might be threads. It might be
tricky though depending on if/how things block in this situation. Although
if you are using Ruby 1.9 that shouldn't be an issue.

I tried threads - but it didn't work. Didn't know that the Ruby-version
is important... Will check if 1.9 is installed.
Thanks

1.9 uses OS Native threads while 1.8 uses green threads so if the ruby
process is blocked then your "threads" a potentially blocked. I've never
tried threads with 1.9 in Windows though so I don't know how they behave.
