This is perhaps not the best solution, but I placed an e-mail (as a a
msg-file) in the current directory of my application and then executed
the default mail-program and added the e-mail as a parameter. Like this:
final Program program = Program.findProgram (".msg");
if (program != null) {
program.execute("path to pre-formatted e-mail");
}
In windows you can probably do something like:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
mailto:<adress>?subject=<subject>&body=<body>");
which seems nicer to me, but is of course limited to Window.

An added note:
I'm sure you would be able to put the .msg-file inside of your jar-archive
and get it using a .getResourceAsStream() if you wanted to hide it from
the user.

Well, when I want to work with the system default Mail Client, I am just
opening a
"mailto:abc@xyz.com" using the System default Browser. This might not be
the best
solution, but afaik it is working in most cases.
It is also possible to pass Subject, CC, BC and Mail Body into the Mail, see
