[AccessD] ShellExecute to send short e-mail via non-MSemailclients...

No, Jim, I don't need to talk directly to SMTP server - I'm not going to
implement a spamming program :)

What I need is a simple and reliable method to open default mail client with
a short custom message. Users will decide by themselves: to click [Send]
button or to cancel sending this message.

mailto protocol seems to be a good candidate. It didn't work in one case
(for Tony Septav) only. (Bad news is the fact that ShellExecute returned 42
(SUCCESS))
