launch/restrict iphone inapp mail in landscape mode

Question

Hi everyone, My app is landscape. I would like to launch the in-app email composer in landscape and restrict it as such. Can anyone advise how to do this? I created a view controller with the proper auto-rotate settings to keep my app in landscape but am unsure how to tell the MFMailComposeViewController to please launch in landscape and stay there (and stop making the keyboard rotate).

Help?

This is answering his comment and not the original question. I had this problem as well and this snippet seems to work for me:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
