One quick & dirty solution springs to mind. Create a mailto NSURL of
the form:
mailto:email@hidden?subject=ThisIsMySubject&body=ThisIsMyBody
Don't forget to encode the URL first (there is a method for doing this
somewhere but I can't find it right now - look in NSString or NSURL).
And then use -[NSWorkspace openURL:] to launch the default email
application with the URL.
