Hi,

did you look at the "messaging API":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/messaging.html of QtMobility?

As Gerolf said you should use Qt Mobility. Key classes for your case are "QMessage":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/qmessage.html and "QMessageService":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/qmessageservice.html. Method "compose":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/qmessageservice.html#compose will open the default composer application using message as a prototype. Example:

@
QMessageService* pMessageManager = new QMessageService(this);
QMessage message;
message.setType(QMessage::Email);
message.setBody("your message");
pMessageManager->compose(message);
@

Btw using the same approach you can open the default app for SMS or MMS (of course it works on both Symbian and MeeGo devices).

In my opinion even if this works it would be much better to use the standard solution with Qt Mobility QMessage and QMessageService which I recommended in my previous post.

Official documentation says:

On Symbian platform email messages with HTML body cannot be sent. If HTML content needs to be sent it can be added as attachment.

Some times ago I used this to open my default mail client and I think it's not so bad...
