Create Thunderbird email from Excel macro

I have written a VB macro in Excel which creates and sends an email using MS Outlook.

So I create an Outlook.Application, and then create an Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem).

This all works fantastically :) But now I have realized the machine I wanted to deploy it on does not have Outlook, and getting a licensed copy of Outlook is not an option. So how can I make this send an email through Thunderbird instead?

I can launch the application using this:

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell('C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Thunderbird hunderbird.exe', 1)


But I'm not sure how I can create a mail item for it. It does not need to use Thunderbird specifically, I just picked it because it was a free mail client.
