help with macro recorder 1

[JTBorton]

I want to open a blank email template that the user can use to send mail and attachments. I keep trying to use the macro recorder to get the code, but it wont record anything when I select from the sendto:, put in an address and then send a mail. It works fine for other things, how do I get it to record these actions?

A starting point:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "mailto:"

so is that VBscript?

okay so how can I fill in the recipients and subject with that?

Set object = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
object.Run "mailto:"
With object
    .To = "FName.LName@company.com"
    .Subject = "My Subject"
End With

Awesome thanks. Now bare with more just a little bit more. I tried to add a Cc address.

<FirstAddress> and <SecondAddress> have been substituted in the place of email addresses

This is what I used:
object.Run "mailto:<FirstAddress>?cc=<SecondAddress>?subject=My%20Subject"

This is the result:
To: <FirstAddress>
Cc: <SecondAddress>?subject=My
Subject: (blank)

What did I do wrong? Also, how do you attach files?
