I've scoured the Internet for a way to mimic the functionality of the

with are a few C++ examples like this one:

Unfortunately C++ and I don't get along and I've had a terrible time
trying to translate them into python using the pywin32 module. I
understand that there are ways using smtp etc to send an email I've used
them before on other projects but that's not what I'm trying to
accomplish here. What I want is a way to pop the default email client
(In my case Lotus Notes) with a new message and a file attached waiting
for the user to type the body of the email add a recipient and send
(Just like the 'Send to Mail Recipient' shortcut.) My understanding is
that basically you have to emulate the drop target of the 'Send to Mail
Recipient' shortcut call its drop function and provide it an IDataObject
pr something similar and it just works. But for the life of me I can't
accomplish this. If anyone out ther can help it would be very appreciated.
If you are only on Windows then maybe simplemapi.py will be fine for you.
I use the code originaly done by Ian Cook.

I couldn't remember his name so did a bit of googling and found that
there is a newer more updated version by John Popplewell which I haven't
tried yet.
