Dear Friends,
                       I need your help in cracking the code for a error
message dialog component that I created in Borland C++ Builder 4.0  The
component takes error message and title as parameters and displays in a
memo. Basically the component is made of a form with a memo and a bunch of
images. When the user clicks mail image, I want the component to bring up
the default email program in userοΏ½s computer with a default TO address and
error message in the body of the mail message. I used the following code
which did everything except putting the error message in the body of the
mail message. Can somebody help me in this?.

AnsiString emailaccount = "mailto:siva@acornsys.com;
ShellExecute(0, NULL, emailaccount.c_str(), NULL, NULL, SW_NORMAL);

Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Siva.
