+4 A:

MFMailComposeViewController is what you want, which was introduced with iPhone OS 3.0.

This blog post also covers adding UIImage attachments:

I studied the sample code from Apple. It uses the MFMailComposeViewController. But I'd like to directly use the mail app instead and load it with a photo (like the photo app does). How can I do this?

The third link that I included shows how to attach a photo to the email.

Using the MFMailComposeViewController does pop up the standard email sending screen the same way the Apple apps do when emailing something like a photo.

Great, thanks again.
