Within VDS...need start up code for:

1. Opening End-user Email Client
2. Send text to body of message
3. send text to subject

The end-user fills in recipients email address and sends it.

Is it possible to do this within VDS?

All feedback welcomed, and thank you in advance.

Thanks Dr Dread for the kick start!

The snippet works great great!

Is there a way to use word wrap within the Prog
with long email body messages?

As in...not having a large BODY message run
for 36 inches to the right of vds margin?

Thanks again, nt

Hi, noveltech

Actually this code snippet has very little to do with VDS... 'shell open' sure enough, but mailto is a system command

There is no direct way of having word wrap here - everything must be in the same line. But you may build the
various parts in variables, like this:
