Outlook has a COM object which you can program against. Also take a look at
Microsoft's Office Interops (not sure if Outlook is a part of those
interops).
More info on the com object can be found here:

If you're going to send large amount of emails - you might be better off
using System.net.mail classes or a 3rd party e-mail software.

Thanks for the tip. I did program against the COM objects, but they
seemed to be a way to programatically send email... I didn't find any
way to cause outlook to open a New email window.
I don't want to use System.Net.Mail because I don't want to re-invent
the wheel; outlook already has a decent email composition system, and I
don't think my time would be well spent copying that functionality.
