How to create a new mail with attached file using JSP

[Nananana]

Hi.
We have a 3rd party Web-based product for archiving documents.
The browser interface has an option to send the selected document as a
mail attachment.
However, the GUI provided (JSP code) is a simple, ugly dialog
(From/To/CC/Subject/Body).
My goal is to activate Outlook and create a new mail message.
Any pointers?
TIA

You may want to stick with what you have. Any attempt to automate Outlook directly from a web page with client-side JScript (e.g. see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/formonweb.htm) will be subject to the user's browser security. Even if the browser allows it, the script may still be blocked by the computer's anti-virus program.

Thanks.
The customer doesn't like what I have.
It's his desire to have a better solution, so he'll take care of the
security issues.
