You can't. There is a command line limit and the ShellExecute method merely 
passes the data to the email application as a command line. If you were 
using Outlook Express you could use 
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/shellexecutelargeemail.htm but you'll 
have to either:

a) use the MAPI control
b) use CDONTS if supported
c) use a third-pary SMTP control

: Bonjour,
:      Cette ligne de commande fonctionne bien avec moins de 1510 
caracthres,
: elle ouvre donc la fenjtre de courriel automatiquement et y inshre les
: donnies de la variable VarDonnies, mais si je dipasse les 1510 caracthres
: alors cette ligne de commande n'ouvre pas la fenjtre de courriel (avec
: OutLook v.6 sous WindowXP).  Est-ce normal?
: Voici la ligne utilisie:
:     ShellExecute 0, "Open", "mailto:" &
"?Subject=" & "&body=" & 
VarDonnies,
: vbNullString, vbNullString, 1
