RE: [OT] - CMD Scripting Help

["Sullivan, Glenn" <gsullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No prob... Make sure Outlook didn't bork up the line break's though.

And take the "pause" out if you don't want it to stop at the
end...
That's what I was using to test it.

The "NoQuotes" subroutine is a staple of my cmd scripting
repository...
