Tips & Tricks:

Caution
I'm finding that calling this function sets your Current Working Directory to something other than what it was before the call is made. In my case, it was setting it to @"C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033"

You may want to save and then restore your working dir if you use this function:

string currentDirectory = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

MAPISendDocuments (....);

// Restore the proper working directory.

System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory (currentDirectory);
