A click on a mailto: link opens a new message window of your mail client. But what is the technical background? What does the browser do to open the mail client, open a new message window in the mail client, and finally pass the link arguments to the new message window?
The background is that i want to do the same from a different application, but not the browser.

Not sure how it resolves the right mail client - inveriably something somewhere in the registry.
What I can tell you, is that if you go Start>Run and type mailto:test@test.com it does the same thing. This means its almost certainly possible to do this using Process.Start from code

See here[^] for more information.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Google delivers tons of information on a mailto: usage level. My previous attempts to find more information about the technical background were not successful. That's why i hope to get some clues for a more specific google request.

Well you need to go and read some of those links, only you know exactly what information will be useful to you.

It's a protocol, just like http.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
