Is it possible to send HTML Email through Flash using navigateToURL()

Question

Hey,
I was trying to pass html content to the email body, but looks like it is not doing that.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('mailto:');
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            variables.subject ="Subject";
            variables.body = '<b>hello</b>';
            request.data = variables;
            request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
           request.contentType = "text/html";
            navigateToURL(request, "_self");
current output inthe email:   <b>hello</b>
Expected result : hello
Please let me know if anybody knows the solution
Note: I even tried these but didn't work.
variables.body = encodeURIComponent('<b>hello</b>');

Answer 1

is there any other object or an alternative solution available in Flex or AIR to do this from client side. my goal is, open the system default email client and pass the html content to it's body.
