    Using VB .NET to Generate An E-mail

    I am new to VB . NET and have been teaching myself with significant success, however I still have a lot to learn.

    I've attempted to look this up on my own, but I am faced with a recurring question. Is there a method in system.net.mail that will return the VB Application User's e-mail provider information?

    The reason I ask is that all the documentation I have read seems to imply the the programmer or user has to input the SMTP Server infromation manually. I was hoping to find a solution where the user's OS will be able to return this information automatically, eliminating interaction from the user.

    It appears that Microsoft Excel has incorporated this functionality when a user creates an "E-mail HyperLink". You click on the HyperLink and the users E-Mail Client Pops up populated with the e-mailaddress of the recipient.

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance, JM
