How to create an intention to run any email application?

Question

I found various topics here and elsewhere, creating the intention of sending emails, and this seems pretty simple. I am looking for the intention of simply launching any email client that the user may have.

Here is the code that I saw for sending an email ( published for reference only, this does not satisfy my needs since I do not want to send a new message ):

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
i.setType("text/plain"); 
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"[e-mail]"}); 
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject of the message"); 
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "Body of the message"); 

Here is the code I compiled for a specific Gmail client launch by package name:

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
Intent intent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.google.android.gm");
startActivity(intent);

The code above works, but is not flexible in that the user may not use Gmail, but another embedded email application or a third-party email application. I am looking for an intention that will lead to a choice in this case, so that the user can decide which application will be launched to read email.

Does anyone know how to do this?

There is no such thing Intent- you can tell it by examining the manifest for the email application.
