This is not the correct usage of the Win8/Metro design language. You want to enable support for the "Share Source" contract. Here is the link to the sample/support for how to use the sharing contract:

It lets you specify a body (content), though the user could also choose to share it to something other than mail, and you don't get to specify an email address. There are several email sending services out there, and that might be a better solution if the user doesn't have to edit the email before it is sent.
