Hello everyone!
I need to send email from my vb.net application, with attachment, using the default email client (so user could could choose address from his address book)

I am using code:

Process.Start("mailto:test@email.com?subject= &body=" & "Body of my message"

But I can not add attachments.
Please help.

Thanks

What I have tried:

Used SendToVB (

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("SendToVB -to you@example.com -file D:\Test.pdf")

It says "

Quote:
The system cannot find the file specified

Tried MAPI (but it says Type MAPI is not defined)
