Requesting a lost password....

[Paladyr]

We have a website where users enter passwords. It has a mailto: link that has the user send a request for their password. I would like to add the ability to say "request lost password using your email address". Is the best way to do this:

1. Setup a rule with the account that receive these emails to look for a subject of Request for lost password or something like that.
2. The rule runs a script that I create that pulls the email address from the above email, queries it against our database, and sends that email a message with their lost password.

Is that how it's done? Thanks.

Sounds like it should be feasible! Do you have a specific question?

Yes! Under the rules wizard the only option it looks like i can use is Start application or run script. I created a macro but that doesn't come up as a valid script. How do i get it to run a macro when a new message comes in?

or would the best way be to start an outlook session in code and use the new message event or something to run the code??? I've only written programs that send emails, not ones that wait for messages.
