I have a program that generates a report in a PDF file, and I want to add a button that says "Export and Email." This button will open a new mail window in the default mail client of the user with the PDF file prepared as an attachment. However I've been unable to find out how to do this. To open the default mail client I can simply use "mailto:bleh@blah.com." The mailto protocall doesn't seem to support attachments however because when I say "mailto:bleh@blah.com?attach=C:\\test.txt" the default client is opened up but no attachment is placed in the email.

Does anybody know how I can do this correctly? Or is it possible?

I don't know how to do what you want. You could always send an email directly from C#.

Thanks Jordan, trying to decipher exactly what that code does, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks again.
