How to send Email with Multiple Attachment in Windows Store Apps

Question

I have some questions about sending email messages from Windows Store Apps (Windows 8.1, C#, Visual Studio 2013).

I need to:

• set recipient email address
• set subject
• set HTML content
• attach files

I am using Data Transfer Manager (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/br205932) to send mails with subject, HTML content and attached files. But I can't find the way to set recipient email address.

If I don't need to set HTML content and attach files, then I can use mailto to set recipient, subject and text content. Another advantage of mailto is calling MS Outlook. But there is no way to set HTML content and, what is more important - attach files.

My questions are:

1. How to set recipient email address, if I use Data Transfer Manager?
2. Is there another way to send mails from Windows Store Apps, to be able to set recipient, subject, HTML content and attach files?
