Why sending email programmatically must be so complicated?

I read few threads regarding sending email and found them lacking common
sense.
All of them involve direct connection to Internet and extra other
components.

I think is is safe to assume that user has one of following installed:
Outlook Express or Outlook and the computer is already connected to
Internet.
Based on that assumption, is it possible to use functionality of one of
these two programs to send email programmatically?
I do not want to use any extra components, and specially Winsock because
such components tend Windows to warn potential user about hazards such
program can bring to his computer and I want to avoid that.
I need very simple thing.
When my program reaches the alert state I want to sent simple email: no
attachments, no body message only subject line filled in.
It should use a default email server and no other questions ask.
Is it possible to do it very simply or it has to be so complicated?
Your thoughts please,
Jack
