Re: How to send email without using email client

I don't know the setup of your system, but if you've got a reasonably 
modern RDBMS server running everything, there might be a SMTP 
extension/module for that database that would let you set up a trigger 
procedure that can send out e-mails to patients when new appointment 
records are added. You'd get a lot more flexibility in terms of what 
clients could connect, plus you'd be making sure that the e-mail would 
be sent only after the transaction went through.
