Trigger a mail from another mail body on clicking link

Step 1: I have a requirement like On clicking a button in my Application, Mail should be triggered to respective person in To list.

Step 2: That Mail item should contain one link like "Click here to approve".

Step 3: On clicking that link, Another Mail item should open with To: [email protected], CC:[email protected], subject etc...

I am done with Step 1 and Step 2. But how to do Step 3.

Note : It is an C# application.

I am using below C# code

 Body = "Hi, "
 Body += "%0D The Deal - " + ClientName + ", has been Assigned to you  %0D%0D"
 Body += "Expected Signature Date : " + SignDate + " %0D"
 Body += "Expected Funding Date   : " + FundingDate + " %0D%0D"
 Body += "Please, click the below link to view the details. %0D%0D"
 Body += PathName + "%0D"
 Body += "<a href=mailto: [email protected]?Subject=Subject&body=Body> Click here to send mail</a>"

 Body = Body.Replace("&amp;", " ")
 Body = Body.Replace("#", "")
 sMsg = User.Redirect("mailto:" + cc + "?Subject=" + Subject + "&body=" + Body)

Redirect Function:

Public Function Redirect(ByVal PageName As String) As String

    Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
    sb.Append("window.location.href='" + PageName + "'; ")
    Return sb.ToString()

End Function

If i use the Outlook dll How to open the Mail item. 

Eg: Mailitem.Send() will send the mail. But i need to open the mail item.

Outlook.Application app = new Outlook.Application ();
Outlook._MailItem mailItm = ( Outlook._MailItem)app.CreateItem ( Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem );
mailItm.To = "[email protected]";
mailItm.Cc = "[email protected]";
mailItm.Subject = "Some Subject";
// body, bcc etc...
mailItm.Display ( true );

If you are clicking on a link to send email with filling (To, Subject, Cc, etc.,) without using asp.net, you can do something like following using mailto:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Some%20Subject&[email protected]>
Click here to send mail
</a>
