mailto: In Lisp?

Is there a way to create a LISP routine that when run, will open up the e-mail client and address an e-mail to a specified address? Like "mailto:" on webpages.

Thanks.

It's kinda messy, but you can use the browser command:

(command "browser" "mailto:")

That's because the browser command opens up your default browser. Then
sends the mailto link to it and the browser opens up your default mail
client, lisp or acad doesn't open the mail client.

Like I said it was messy. I've seen other people post different solutions
that worked better.

 

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty new to this and don't know VBA. I'll keep playing with it unless you have any other suggestions.

I meant to also add, like yours

 

Did you try mine? Although, I call IE, it doesn't get opened, just sends the
url to the email client. Clean.

 

You don't really need to know vba. Attached is a file on how to get the previous code I gave you to work. See section I. Then add the following line to your acad.lsp file:



(vl-vbaload "pathToDVB"). Now you can use the code I gave you earlier.

How about a button macro?
