Thejus,

Launching outlook express is the easy part. You can use the Process
class to do this. However, what do you mean by "with attachment". Do you
mean that you want to open a new message dialog with a file attached? If
this is the case, I don't know that you can do it. Assuming that OE is your
default mail browser, you can easily open up the url mailto:<email address>
and it will open up the default mail composer window for the system.

However, getting an attachment on there is a different story, I don't
know that OE provides some sort of automation interface.

Hope this helps.

Try this:

using System.Diagnostics;
string sentEmail = "de**@mydomain.com";
string subject = "I love dotNET";
string body = "This is the message body";
string msg = string.Format( "mailto:{0}?subject={1}&body={2}", sentEmail ,
subject, body);
Process.Start( msg);

You've seem to miss the point entirely, why don't you take some time to
actually read what I said and then comment on it.

Thanx,
