How to Automate Sending Emails through Outlook interop using C#
I was tasked with a tricky issue in sending emails. Due to security concerns, the client's IT team was not willing to share SMTP information for their mail settings and was only willing to set up an account in Outlook directly on a dedicated machine without sharing the password with us to send the emails.

How to use Teensyduino to send cmd + enter
Recently we purchased a bunch of Teensyduino powered buttons for a trivia game we were building for a client's convention as a fun learning experience. Now that the conference is through, the buttons are sitting unused, and my boss asked me if I could reprogram one of them so he could use it to send emails through Outlook on Mac.

Luckily I have Office for Mac. Not so luckily, Outlook Mac 2011 is not as well designed as Outlook for Windows in so many ways. One of the bugs I ran into was the "Reply All" bug where your e-mail is included in the CC field. It's rather annoying having to choose from having to manually delete your address or having an extra e-mail to delete from your inbox. The fix turned out to be rather simple for me. It turns out that Outlook for Mac isn't very smart. It doesn't seem to be able to tell which address you're sending the e-mail from even though it's doing the sending. When my account was initially setup, the company set it up with one of their subsidiary domains which was incorrect. Rather than creating a new inbox, they simply created an alias for the domain but never updated my configuration. To fix the issue, do the following:
