Add a menu where? On a web page, Java UI application?

java swing UI

Well a swing menu is just like any other event source like a button.
You add a listener to the source, trap the event and process it. Quite straight forward.

In your case, the processing part is actually sending the mail. Since this is a java application, I presume you would wish to use JavaMail to send the mail.
Moving to the appropriate forum where you can get a better response.

The java.awt.Desktop class in Java 6 can launch the desktop email client.
