Is there any way to send a mail from within my iPhone application?

Question

I want to send an email from within my iPhone application, primarily because i don't want to quit my application. Is there ANY way to do that?

Solution:

1) I found this open source API which does that: http://code.google.com/p/skpsmtpmessage/

Anyone can write their own smtp client for this purpose. (If you can invest that much time - that is)

2) Use a web service to send the message details and handle message sending functionality at server end.

Thanks.
