ANSI Standard PL/B Language and Visual PL/B
PL/B MAIL SEND instruction
Version 9 of the PL/B suite has a built in MailSend verb for sending e-mail. This does not require any other support other than Windows and an internet connection.
If you want to load the user's own e-mail program to handle a message you can make a string with "MailTo: username" and EXECUTE or BATCH it. When you do that Windows will load the configured e-mail program. I don't know if you can provide message text to go along with it.
