0 aberg Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Found this on Stackoverflow, doesn't know if it works. <A HREF="mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=Your Subject&body=Message for the body">you@yourdomain.com</a> or this in C# public static void SendMailWithMailTo(string address, string subject, string attach) { string mailto = string.Format("mailto:{0}?Subject={1}&Body={2}&Attach={3}", address, subject, body, attach); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(mailto); } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
