For the "guessing" solution see the other emails.  As an engineer I get 
goosepimples when I read about such solutions...

As far as I can see the only "serious" thing you could do is, since you're on 
pure Windows(tm) anyway, use some kind of Windows specific system wide email 
interface to send the email (MAPI?  I'm not a Windows person at all but I 
*think* I remember some trojans are/were using this to send their spam.)

Of course that might depend on the people having Outlook (Express?) 
configured, and I don't know if a Python wrapper for this interface exists.

cheers

You mean he couples acoustically with Commodore 64?! That explains a lot.
Brings a new meaning to the word "audiophile", at least.
