Hi Kevin,

To use 64bit Outlook from any 32bit application, mapi is no longer an 
option and instead you should be using COM.

This avoids a whole bunch of issues, some being as trivial as the user's 
compose email stationery not working.

It is a shame that Microsoft did not update mapi_stub for backwards 
compatibility as they have broken so many applications.

In fact, to me it seems that they no longer do any actual testing 
anymore and are a shadow of their former selves in terms of quality. 
Even a simple thing since 1990 - assigning the default file extension 
associations is now broken.

Leslie.
