Greetings,

I've read the PalmSource Attachment Support and Data Exchange Guidelines
for Palm OS whitepaper and perused the sample code.  However, I've not
yet found the information I'm looking for, and hope that someone here
can steer me in the right direction.

I am wanting to implement support in my app to email data via the MailTo
exchange mechanism, as described in the whitepaper in section 9:

"Applications like the browser must be able to launch an email
application to start composing a new message. In contrast to the "_send"
scheme the "mailto" URL automatically implies email as a transport
medium and allows applications to provide additional information, like
recipients, subject line, etc."

I have found by trial and error that if I use an exgSocket.name prefixed
with "mail:" that this will invoke mailto functionality for Versamail
(which is am using as the test email app).  [Interesting sidenote: VM2.0
supports name prefix of "mailto:"; or "mail:" but VM2.5 only supports
"mail:".]

However, I have not been able to determine how to prefill the additional
information such as recipients, subject line, message body text, etc.

Can someone please explain how I can craft a fully formed mail message
(recipient, subject, body text, attachment) using the mailto url scheme
with the exchange manager?

Thank you,
