Tell-A-Friend kind of form in iPhone SDK

Question

I'm trying to build an in-game Tell A Friend form like in AppStore. Does anybody know if it can be found anywhere in the SDK? I wouldn't like to reinvent the sliced bread.

Thanks!

Short of writing your own SMTP client, you can create a message then exit your app by sending a URL to the mail app with openURL.

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: @"mailto:[email protected]?subject=subject&body=body"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

The user then checks the content and sends the message.
