Hi Pat,

If you're interested in a third party solution, we provide an SMTP component for the .NET Compact Framework in our IP*Works! .NET CF toolkit. The component is fairly simply to use:

SMTP.RemoteHost = <mailserver>
SMTP.From = <sender's email address>
SMTP.SendTo = <recipient's address>
SMTP.Subject = <subject>
SMTP.Send

We provide the SMTP component in a toolkit of 34 internet components, all fully managed C# with no dependancies, including a FileMailer and HTMLMailer component. These components use SMTP internally, but also handle the MIME encoding of attachments or HTML automatically, making more complex emails much easier to send.

We provide a fully functional trial version of the toolkit at our website at http://www.nsoftware.com/download/. The only restriction is an about box that appears in your applications, reminding you to register before you go on to deployment.

Regards,

James N.

I totally do not want a 3rd party solution.

Is there not an equivaluent of "mailto:" links

I do not need anything clever
 
If you don't want a third-party solution, you're going to be writing your
own first-party solution. Fortunately, SMTP isn't a very complicated
protocol...

OK scrap SMTP.

Can i not just get at the equivalent of a mailto: link that would cause the
default email client to compose a new mail?
