[Qt-interest] Clean way of invoking the default email client using Qt (equivalent of clicking on a "mailto") ?

[KC Jones]

Using mailto: urls is your best bet.  You can specify a message body
that way.  The syntax is described in great detail at the IETF site
here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt

There may be some risk of having the system reject or mangle your url
request due to spam filters.  Not too sure about all that...
