A few options for you:
Sample code to start default e-mail client on host machine:
This works. %0D%0A for line feed.
ShellExecute(handle,'open','Mailto:simon@simonhooper.co.uk?subject=Task list&Body='+'This is the body%0D%0AAnd another line',nil,nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Can also use HTML formatting:
ShellExecute(handle,'open','Mailto:simon@simonhooper.co.uk?subject=Task list&Body='+'<HTML>This is the body<BR/>And another line</HTML>',nil,nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Apparently can specify attachments also, but this doen't seem to work with Outlook Express (v5)
&Attach="c:.txt"
this has been suggested, but doesn't seem to work
WinExec('start "mailto:shmia@bizerba.de?subject=Barcode component"',SW_HIDE);
Have fun

As you said I used shellexecute Api function.
It works fine if my default mail is MicrosoftOutlook , it just open
e-mail composer only.
If my default mail is netscape(version 4.79) the Netscape browser and
two e-mail composer also open, if it is netscape(version 7.0) the
Netscape browser and one e-mail composer also open. If the netscape
browser is already opened in my desktop before I run my application the
application open only one e-mail composer, in this case it work fine.
I want to open only one e-mail composer with any circumstance.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much.
