To be able to perform that kind of action would mean that the client
needs to have a SMTP service running. Even if this was the case, if
this were meant to be executed through the browser, the browser
security settings needs to be changed for each individual. Finally, it
is possible to automate Outlook, however this would be an IE only
method.

This kind of emailing is not reliable.

What is your true purpose? If we knew, perhaps we could provide an
alternate solution. If you're just looking to send emails, this should
be done on the server.

True, assuming that the OP ment clientside javascript.

Serverside javascript with a com, like CDO or Jmail is quite possible.

You have to specify the environment you want to send mail via JavaScript
from, e.g. :

Web browser - possible only with server support. Current browsers cannot
send emails AFAIK.

WSH, HTA, ASP - using CDO or other 3rd party ActiveX object or
commandline utility.
