I am trying to write some code that forwards an email.  When required,
it takes a number of email addresses and copies them to the clipboard
then instructs the user to select the required email for forwarding,
put cursor on "To" and press Ctrl-V. 

Identifying the default client and opening the In Box is my problem.

I have found numerous examples of creating a new email within the
default email client from within an application.  (I use
OpenDocument(PChar(EMail)).  However, I can't figure out how to simply
open the default client's main page.

Can anyone help please?

Yes, that is a problem. So, don't do that. Send and receive the email
directly. Find out the address of the email server(s) and talk to
them.
