Requirement: I have a web application deployed in a server.
On a button click, I need to open outlook new mail window with some values populated in a particular format.
So that the user can edit the values if want and change the To, CCC fields with the recipient list, and then send the mail manually…
Note: Assumption is that there is outlook client installed in the client machine
SMTP will not work as it doesn’t open outlook window…it just sends the mail with all the customizations u want in background, there won’t be any UI where user can edit the values.
mailto may solve the problem, but it has a limit of around 450 characters of body and we have around 2 pages of body.
Interop , there is a interop assembly which provides the similar functionality, but this requires outlook to be installed on the server where the application is deployed.
please advice.
