So I'm looking for a simple ObjC - level method.
Others have already noted the lack of this capability in the OS (and even when it was there, it depended on some level of configuration by the user, making it kind of imperfect for many needs). It's been mentioned before, but if you simply need to send a canned e-mail with specific inputs and a fixed format, it's quite easy to submit data to a PHP script on your own server, and let it send out the mail (some relatively simple safeguards need to be put in place to make it secure). I would avoid attempting to script Mail.app or other mail programs; it can be a never-ending headache.
