web process to open and populate email on client side

I need to design a web input form for the user to complete. When the user is finished and clicks 'submit', the form data needs to be put into a file, an email started on the users PC, filled in with the destination email address and subject, and the file containing the data attached.

The user would then manually click send on their email client to send the message.

The email message needs to be sent from the clients PC rather than the server to provide authentication as to who sent the message.

I am an accomplished VB programmer but have not used VB.NET yet.

Any ideas?

I think you can do something simple with only minimal ASP just through the

tag. I could have sworn I had done it in the past, but I can't find it or any example. There's at least a way to set the subject, if not the message, through mailto.

I have had much better success saving a file from the data sent in a form than sending an email.
