I''m trying to add a feature to my application so that when the user clicks a button, it allows them to type an email up in a seperate form, and then send it using Outlook, passing in values from textboxes. So far, I''ve been able to get it to send the email address to outlook using the commands:
Try Process.Start''ing a mailto: link instead.

I already caught mistake that after I posted. I just can''t find any information on how to fill the subject and message fields in outlook.
What about of using the outlook object model to start outlook and get some REAL control over it?

Right now, I have a rich textbox where the body of the email is entered, and I have added checkboxes to make the text bold, italicized, and/or underlined, which work correctly when I type the email body in the form.

My code for sending the email is:

Outlook(and any other decent mail client) is usually set to wrap text at ~76 characters.

yeah, but why isn''t it letting my send rich text through my program. It will let me do it from Outlook, so why not from my program? >_<
