You can invoke Outlook Express by using the host command. But be careful, it is not very dynamic. You'll have to make sure that all users have a default installation of outlook express.
Here's a code snippet I once used (but it was for a sort of "session manager" I only used, so I could afford to hard-code the location of Outlook Express.
--
-- Procedure to create email messages to the selected user.
--
DECLARE
v_subject VARCHAR2(2000);
v_body VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
v_subject := 'Here comes your subject';
v_body := 'Here comes your message';
HOST('"C:Program FilesOutlook ExpressMSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:mailto:'||:PARAMETER.email_address||'?subject='||v_subject||'&body='||v_body);
END;
HTH,
MHE
