I think that's the idea.  Microsoft's plan to is to make the API for
sending mail without user intervention so incredibly complicated and
pulverisingly dull that the even the virus authors can't be
bothered...

IIRC, there's a commercial COM server that wraps up Extended MAPI and
exposes a clone of the Simple MAPI interface.
