And if you're in the Manchester, New Hampshire, USA area, perhaps you
can stop by Thursday night and witness Kent himself presenting his
essay and a follow-on scrum using Beautiful Soup to parse out a couple
of web pages:

Then it's most likely you don't want to talk to exchange at all, but
rather talk with Outlook. Outlook supports a COM Automation interface
and you can use it to do most of the things Outlooks does via the GUI,
although some of them are rather difficult. An example of COM
Automation with Outlook and Python can be found:

A paper on COM Automation and Outlook I wrote some time ago (in a
different programming language) has some pretty good references at the
end:

If you're in or near New Hampshire, join the Python SIG
(http://www.pysig.org) and you might get the change to see Kent
deliver these live as the "Kent's Korner" portion of our meetings -
fourth Thursday of the month,  in Manchester, NH. Details:

I'm a big fan of sending invoices as PDFs. The invoices can have as
rich text and graphics as you want, print well, and work
cross-platform.

Google "HTML Email is Evil" for a pretty succinct summary.
