Systems that are used to run businesses usually are not really sexy. They normally are a compilation of different tools that most likely were not put together in the same time and most likely done by different people... I know... reality sinks in.

However this has saved me probably days of troubleshooting and chasing my own tail. Since Microsoft made some changes lately to the way they allow you to send emails I had to find a solution fast. You see this system allowed the operator to just click a button to send an email on their behalf to the supplier or client. Once the facility stopped work I have replaced it with mailto which bypasses the need for me to craft the email in the background by PHPMailer. Now it simply opens the default email client and populates everything for me. Perfect!
