You could also install cygwin. That's free and i think it includes
sendmail. You might also think about spawning a perl or python script
from IDL, something along those lines.

As far as ActiveX/COM goes, I haven't heard of there being a control
for a "default mail program." There might be such a program but it
might still not have any COM functionality exposed. Outlook, of
course, does expose COM functions, so if you have Outlook you can use
that.

Another free SMTP mailer is Blat. http://www.blat.net/194/. I just
did some searching on the web, I do not use this myself.
