Best language to write Outlook app

[sergeiY]

Hi

I need to write a small app that will scan newly coming e-mails and resend them via SMS gateway ... friend of mine wrote a VBA script in Excel to read/send e-mails but I seems to me as not right choice for a task ... so my question is: what is the right choice of programming language ? is it VB, Excel/Outlook VBA scripting or something else ?

I would also be very grateful if you can direct me in right direction and provide links to good FAQs or other resources.

Thank you

probably easiest just going from outlook. But depends really. There is no "Best" for a generic situation. Without knowing all the requirement features needed its hard to say.

OK

this is what I need to do:

this app is for me only ... I would like to be able to scan incoming e-mails and reformat them a bit and SMS them to my phone ... I would want to have it as a separate app so I can take it with me anywere and no need to make around with Outlook.
