You can use the Shell() function to send email messages using your default Email client software. The syntax of this function is:
Shell("Mailto:address¶meters")
The address part of the message may be blank, a single email address or multiple email addresses separated by semicolons (;) in the case of Microsoft Outlook or commas (,) in the case of Eudora. The exact syntax will vary depending on the email client software you are using.
The parameters section of the message is optional and not supported by all email clients. For Microsoft Outlook you can pass these settings:
|

BCC= |

Shell("Mailto:sales@capitaloffice.com.au&cc=myaddress@isp.com")
The %20 symbol can be used to represent a space and %0d for a line feed.
