使用Java生成的内容向Outlook发送电子邮件

Question

I have a Java program that needs to be able to send the subject,body and recipient of an email to Outlook. The email is HTML formatted. I have searched around, but the only things I can find are on how to send the email USING Java. This is not what I need to do. I need to generate the mail, then give it to Outlook to send from there.

The problem is that I have no idea on how to go about this. I can't think of any way to send the information over to Outlook except the MAILTO: protocol, which cannot transport HTML data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Generate an EML (MIME) file and provide a link to that file instead of a mailto link. Outlook will open and display the EML file.
