How to Launch the Default e-Mail Agent - VB2005

[Larry Rebich]

How do I launch the default e-mail agent using Asp.Net 2.0 and VB 2005?

I have a button on the page called 'Send e-Mail'.

I want to launch the user's default e-mail agent.

The message will contain a send to address, subject and text. No attachments
will be sent.

Thanks,
Larry Rebich

All you need is mailto

However, remember that if your page is going to be on the public Internet,
you should find some way of obfuscating the actual email address, or it'll
get spammed from now till doomsday...
