- Emails are displayed before sending for user confirmation
- No credentials are stored in the code
- All operations use Windows COM interface with existing Outlook authentication
## Limitations
- Windows only (due to pywin32 dependency)
- Requires Outlook to be installed and configured
- Time zone handling assumes JST (+9 hours)
