Generate Email for Any Client

[RobHudson]

Hi

I need to be able to generate an email for any email client that is being used by the user.

I am currently using the mailto command to achieve this, but it is starting to show one major problem - the number of characters that can be used. The email process could send to any number of email addresses and the content of the email could be any number of words. As the application builds all the content for the email (and only one email can be produced), the maximum charater limit is being exceeded.

So, what process can I use to build an email, of any size, and then show the email to the user?

Cheers
Rob

bump, bump...

Anybody got any ideas at all??
Would MAPI work?

I am hoping to at least be able to generate an email for Outlook and Lotus Notes...

Cheers
Rob

If you can restrict your application to newer OS's then I would use CDOSYS.

This should be able to work with any client.
