------------------------------------
Description
sendDlg sends a mail message with user interaction. The user will be shown
the message as it currently exists (using the user's default MAPI mail system
provider). They can then modify it before sending it.

If an existing mail session is not active, the user may be prompted with
a logon dialog box. Use the logon method to create a mail session.

sendDlg returns True if the user sends the message, and False if they cancel.
Any errors will trigger an exception. 

sendDlg returns True if the user cancels the logon dialog box.

*** last two points seems to contradict


>using the user's default MAPI mail system provider
In control panel find MAIL. Dig around in there. Any differences? Multiple
email address / profiles?

Do they use outlook? Look into the actual client they use outside Paradox.
DO they send from multiple email addresses?

When you open that send dialog

Almost sounds like authentication timeout.

Maybe look at the email logon,  logonDlg methods?


I battled a few similar things ultimately getting a third party emailer (few
free ones out there) and writing a library wrapper.
