send e-mail using silverlight

Question

Can i send e-mali from html page not aspx, using silverlight control. I found this article -> http://michaelsync.net/2008/05/25/tiptrick-sending-email-in-silverlight-2-beta1 and it works, but only from aspx page.

Sorry for my bad English.

Silverlight is a runtime that runs in the sandbox of browser so there is no way right now to send email using Silverlight only. You can do two things 1) Post the request back to the server may be to an WCF end point and let the server send an email. You can use the traditional asp.net .net way to send an email. In the WCF end point you will have to pass the information needed to send email like to subject body etc which the server may not have and is added by the user. 2) You can have Silverlight run out of the browser in a trusted mode and then can use com interop (Outlook) to send an email
