Create an email message in .NET.

Question

I want to create an email with an attachment, but not send it. Email should open in Outlook, where the user can send himself.

I played with the Mailto: command to open a new mail message, however the Outlook client does not seem to support adding attachments using the Mailto: command.

I do not want to use COM for this.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? I think this may not be possible without COM.
