I am a beginner in MVC. I want to develop an action method in MVC which fires Mailto:?body=body goes here.&subject=test subject and so the default mail client will automatically populate the email for the user. Right now I have List<String> which contain mailto: urls.

Please, if you have any experience or demo code it will be helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
