the mailto function will open up the default mailer in your system. If it's Outlook Express, then it will open Outlook Express for you.

<a href="mailto:somebody@somewhere.com">Send Email</a>

Javascript cannot read/write files on the user's system.
Try Visual Basic, VBA or search for an ActiveX control that can do the job.
