sending an email using NSIS

I like to send an email when user clicks on button on the form. I am new to NSIS. Could not find information in any of the forums.

Any help or pointers is appreciated.

Thanks,

just using execshell with something like "mailto:foo@bar.com?subject=baz" should work.

Thank you. I was away and could not reply earlier.

That works but it pops-up email box. Is there a way to send email without creating new mail window? Basically, when user installs the software, I like email sent to us without user's input.

Thanks.

I understand that, but you don't know the end users email account/settings, or if they even have a email account!

You are probably better off using inetc or one of the other internet/download plugins and do a http get or post to your webserver and handle everything server side
