                    Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');
    my $Outlook = new Win32::OLE('Outlook.Application');
    
    
    
    $excel_ob = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
            || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
                
    $excel_ob->{Visible} = 0;           
    $excel_ob->{DisplayAlerts}=0;

+H26")->Copy);    
    
    $item->{'From'} = $from;
           
    $item->{'Cc'} = $cc;
               
    # 2=high, 1=normal, 0=low
    $item->{'Importance'} = $priority ;
