Linux is easy as well!  ;-)
If your target Linux system has xdg-utils you can use the following command:
   xdg-email

-----------------------------------------------
$>  xdg-email
xdg-email - command line tool for sending mail using the user's preferred
e-mail composer

Synopsis

xdg-email [--utf8] [--cc address] [--bcc address] [--subject text] [--body text
] [--attach file] { mailto-uri | address(es) }

xdg-email { --help | --manual | --version }

Use 'man xdg-email' or 'xdg-email --manual' for additional info.
-----------------------------------------------


If your target linux distro doesn't include Xdg-Utils, it is
recommended that you deploy it with your application (help promote the
idea and make live easier for software developers).  If very simply to
do and is described in the following website.
