how to make desktop app send email?

[linas linas org (Linas Vepstas)]

Hi,

I have a desktop app ("gnomtime", actually, gttr.sourceforge.net) with 
several free-text areas in it.  It like to be able to add a menu item
that says "email this".  Clicking on the menu would start the user's
favorite email client, push the text into it, and let them complete
the addressing from there, etc.

What's the best way of doing this?

>From the programmers point of view, I'd like to have an API about
as simple as this:

void send_out_email (const char * text_to_be_sent);
