Invoking default mail app. from forms

Question

Hi,
We want to invoke default mail application by the click of a
form's button. We also want to pass on a default textarea of the
form into the body of that e-mail.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
TIA

I haven't tried it yet, but can you use the web.show_document
built-in to invoke a WEB link of the form
'mailto:name@location'? If not then to generate a static HTML
page on the server containing the mail link and all the
appropriate text to pre-load and then use show_document to
invoke this. The WEB browser would need to be configured to
launch the appropriate mail client.

This is not necessarily a solution, but something to experiment
with. Let me know if it works!
