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

[Manish Chakravarty]

Hey guys,

I figured out the
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("mailto:someone at example.com?body=Something+you+want+to+send"));
thing.

But there is  further problem; I cannot use it to send HTML emails or emails
with attachements.
Thus it is unsuitable for my purpose.

Thanks for you time!
