Launching the default email utility

Hi! How can I launch the default email utility
(Outlook Express/Netscape Communicator) using
VB 6.0?

Code:

---

'launch default email program and send mail

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Const SW_SHOW = 5
   
'form code
ShellExecute hwnd, "open", "mailto:[email protected]", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOW

---

Thanks HeSaidJoe...

How can I open the default Email Inbox?

Sorry, I only have code for things I have used. You can go here and I think you might find what you are after.

Later,
