[DUG] Open new email in default browser

[Jolyon Direnko-Smith]

Ignore my previous response - it was just re-stating what you already

As for alternatives, is there any reason you must use the default email
client and cannot simply construct and send an email using (e.g.) Indy SMTP
or IMAP components, suitably configured ?
