Easy way to send an email from C# windows application

[Matt Fishbeck]

Hello All. I was wondering if anybody new the framework or some example code to send an email from a windows application. This can be done via launching a window which will have an 'automatic' attachment to be sent as an issues report. This could also be done transparenently, i.e. Without launching the outlook window...Probably allot more complicated. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
