'Send Mail' page

Hi,

 

In the default  'Contacts' tab, there is a 'Send an Email'  button in the Activity History section.

Clicking on the 'Send an Email' button brings up a nice VF page to send email.

 

I want a similar functionality in my app. How do I access the same VF page to send email?

 

thanks

svidyan

You can also have any field pre populated by adding the field values into the url. You need to know the name of the fields though. I have documented the fields i have found so far here:
