Is this possible? I want to have the To:, Body, and an Attachment all pre-populated so all the user has to do is click send. Thanks!

I am not able to comment, yet, so I will post this here. What action by the user or automated process causes the command line to be called that starts the Outlook app?
Do you have access to Powershell?

A:
Open a new mail message:
outlook.exe /c ipm.note
Open a new mail message and populate sender:
outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m [email protected]
Open a new mail message with attachment:
outlook.exe /c ipm.note /a filename
Combination:
outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m [email protected]&subject=test%20subject&body=test%20body
The %20 has to be used to produce a blank space.

Neat. The command-line is having a renaissance at Microsoft, it seems.

Cool, I didn't know that - and I probably never would have tried.

You are correct. It seem command-line can only get you so far...

VonC's solution works, but as stated in the comments by skbergam it doesn't allow for attachments.
If, like me, that's a biggie then the following WSH code does it.
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olMsg = olApp.CreateItem(0)
With olMsg
.To = "[email protected]"
'.CC = "[email protected]"
'.BCC = "[email protected]"
.Subject = "Subject"
.Body = "Body"
.Attachments.Add "C:\path\to\attachment\test.txt"
.Display
End With
I've tried it with Outlook2003

I've been wanting to do this too. Allain Lalonde's answer is brilliant!! Allows for multiple attachments too. This has saved me a LOT of work :)
