Send Email via Outlook 2007 with "send to field" blank.

Question

I have a simple question:
- How do I get the user's Outlook 2007 "New Email Message" box to open up when the user clicks on a button called "Send Email"?
- Outlook is the default Email client on each user
- I need the Outlook box to open, with the following values prefilled:
To: blank (so the user can type in an address)
From: [email protected]
Subject: blah, blah, blah
Body: Hello, etc...
The part I'm having trouble with is getting the Send To field to be blank or unfilled?

Leonard, Thanks for the quick post..
Along with your tip, I ended up doing the following, which worked perfectly:
<cfset to_email="">
<cfset subject_text="Here is the Link to the Form..">
<cfset body_text="Welcome to the Step by Step Procedure!%0A">
<cfoutput><a href = "mailto:#to_email#?subject=#subject_text#&body=#body_text#">Click to Send Email Link to Customer</a></cfoutput>
Note: I used the %0A at the end of my Body text to help with formatting.
One other question: How do I make this code above run directly from my SPRY menu?
- Currently I have to open another form and then click on hyperlink text on the form
- I would rather bypass the new form page altogether, and just call the code from my SPRY menu?
- Here is the code behind my SPRY Drop-Down menu item:
<li><a href="form_emailLink.cfm" target="_blank">Send Form Link</a></li>
