Frame a String in the format String URI="mailto:?subject=" + subject + "&body=" + body;

and 

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse(URI);
intent.setData(data);
startActivity(intent);

This will open up the default e-mail program selected by the user.

Linkify does it this way. Check out it's source code, if you like.
