CFMAIL: How to open an email for further editing before it is sent?

I'd like to know if there is a way, using CFMAIL, to create the email in the code but instead of sending the email, have the email open in the client email program so that the user can further edit this email if they so wish before they manually hit the send button?

I could use the standard html mailto tag instead of cfmail, but I need the email to force the "From" value I specify, and not show it's from the person who's email account it opens in with their email client. So I'm hoping there is a cfmail equivalent as I don't want the email to send straight away!!

Any workarounds to get this to work gratefully received! Thanks

    For what you are specifically asking, no.

    As a workaround, present the content in a textarea for further editing.

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Dan. The textarea presented on another webpage isn't what I'm after, so I guess it's back to the drawing board!
