VBScript to send email without running Outlook

Question

I have written an automated test that runs each night  and I would like to email the results each night once the test is finished   In order to do this I attempted to put the following at the end of my batchfile   Set MyApp   CreateObject  Outlook Application   Set MyItem   MyApp CreateItem 0  With MyItem      To    a a com       Subject    Subject       ReadReceiptRequested   False      HTMLBody    resport  End With MyItem Send   However  this is causing the email to not send because my Outlook is not open  as the test is run in the background  and I have no access to the UI   Is there anyway to send this email without actually running outlook on the machine   Thanks
