Easiest/best way to create an email using local MS Outlook with file attachments?

VFP9SP2 app

Customer uses Outlook and wants the app to generate an email to a given

email address from the app AND attach certain documents to it.  Customer

will preview it and then manually hit "Send" on their own.

What's the BEST (and hopefully easiest) way to implement this? Invoke

Outlook via CREATEOBJECT and set properties and attachments

accordingly?  Typically in the past I've used MAILTO and ShellExec but

this time the extra requirement is to have files attached from the

application too, which makes MAILTO not an option, if I understand

correctly.
