Need to use local email client from a web application

[CrazyVBr]

I have a web based application (which is primarily using ASP) which needs to utilize the client side default email program.

Example, admin opens web page/application and needs to send an email to customer. I don't want the email to go from the server side, rather I would prefer to check for default email client, use MAPI or similar, and automatically send the email with out end user intervention from the admins pc...
I will already have all of the email information (i.e. sender, recept, subject, body)

I just need a headstart on this and thank you all in advance

It can't be done....Because ASP is a server-side technology, it can't utilize the clients email program. Any emails would have to be sent from the server.

Any chance of opening up the client side default email proggy from HTML?
