How to open default email client

[Barry Andrews]

Hello all,
I have seen programs that can open up your default email client and automatically populate the To, From, Subject, CC, Message, etc. Does anyone know how this is done, and can it be done in Java?
Many thanks,
Barry

Hi
JavaMail is the one. Klik on this link

Rene,
sorry, I don't get it. I have used JavaMail before, but I don't understand how this will help me open up a default email client and populate the fields, and let the email client (such as Eudora) handle the send. Please explain.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi
I misunderstood you.
But you can use 'mailto' like this:
mailto:[e-mail]?CC=[e-mail]&BCC=[e-mail]&Subject=The Readme File&Body=This is body
