Sending Email error reports from windows desktop application

I have a windows desktop application running on clients machines using .NET 4.0. When an error occur, The application catches it and needs to send it to the support team b email.

The question is how to send an email with the full stack trace (including stacktrace for inner exception if there is one) using email?

I tried using the "Mailto:" but It wouldnt work when the body exceeds a certain length.

What options do I have?

System.Net.Mail namespace contains classes that handle sending mail with the smtp protocol. It may have a size limit, but I haven't found it yet in normal usage.

If you do manage to find a size limit, try writing the error log to a file an attaching it.

Also, as an easier way to do this, you might also consider Log4Net to simplify logging in all manner of ways, including email with the SmtpAppender.
