mailto in FM8 IWA

I need to create a button that will bring up an email (preferably with
info filled in) for the user to send. This works beautifully in a
script but doesn't translate in IWA. Any workarounds?

If your needs are fairly simple a regular html hyperlink can do this,
see:

http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html

for syntax. You can use the OpenURL script step to make it happen.

Its not ideal, but should qualify as a work around.
