Rick,
Thanks for your reply. I am probably not explaining myself here well enough. I have used System.Net.Mail in the past and you are right it is very simple. Well it is simple if you have a SMPT server or even know what an SMTP server is (well and it is simple after you have created the mail message form).

What I want to do is to add a simple interface where the user can click a button (in the report viewer) and the button will generate a PDF of the report and open a mail message window using the default mail client (when I say default mail client this means Outlook or Outlook Express 200 or later <s>)

By doing it this way it is easy to explain to the user (it works just like Send To->Mail Recipient in Explorer) and the user does not have to go through additional steps to set up the SMTP server.

Something this simple:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:<email address here>");

The only problem is that I can't attach a file going this route.

Thanks,
Einar
