How to add a Microsoft Outlook Email from ASP.NET application

[xin.yadong]

Is there a way to create an New Outlook Email from an ASP.NET
application? I can not use "mailto:", since it is only support a
string less than 512. I have find a good way from link :
http://zones.advisor.com/doc/17330 , that thread show how to create a
new appointment instead of email. but I have no idea about the format
of a new email. Does any one know the format of a new outlook email
i.e.
Response.ContentType = "text/XXXXXX"
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline;
filename=oneEmail.XXXXX")

and the body of the file

Thanks

Lu,

Just to clarify what you're trying to do... Do you want to send a mail
programmatically, or are you trying to insert a new, unread message into the
inbox of the user on the machine itself?

what I want to do is create a draft (new mesage), which could have
sent to , subject, body, and let user choose to send it through
outlook or not.

Ok, that's a little clearer. I'll be honest, my initial response really
wants to be 'Why not just build SMTP functionality into your program?'

But, that said, I'd look at the CreateMail function at
