Can I use PHP to Open Outlook with subject , To and body pre-populated.
So that user can preview before pressing send.

Help is appreciated.

You probably want to open Outlook on the machine that is not running PHP
(the browser machine) so you will need to use something else.

Try something like;

<a href="mailto:me(a)mydomain.com?subject=This is a subject&body=this is a
body">clickablevalue</a>

This is html and is limited by the length of a valid URL (Get method), which
means the subject and body will need to be very short

If you really meant to open outlook on your server machine, check out COM
access in the manual, which will obviously need to be a windows server.

FWIW, you can basically do this with a standard HTML form where the action
is something along the lines of mailto:...

Can't remember if I've got this exactly right, but, basically your <form...
tag would be something along the lines of:
<form action=mailto:email(a)host.com?subject=subject line method="post"
enctype="text/plain">

Then, each of the fields in the form will be sort of included in the body of
that email.
