Intent sendIntent;

sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test Subject");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Test Text");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + fileName));
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg");

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send Mail"));

If you don't want to use the User interface for sending mails, check this link: Sending Email in Android using JavaMail API without using the default/built-in app
