mailto URL email formatting

[mr-psycho]

I'd like to know (if possible) how to format the body of an email by using the getURL mailto action.

mailto:test@testing.com?subject=test&body=Name:

I can put a couple of words into the body quite easily but how do I put in Breaks ?

I want to have fields such as

Name:

Position:

etc:

So that the recipient can complete and send back.

This should do it...

"mailto:test@testplace.com"+"?subject=test&body=on e:"+"\r"+"two:"+"\r"+"three:";

I tried what you suggested but it still puts the body like this

one:two:three:

and not

one:

two:

three:

The email client that is being launched is Outlook Express.. any more idea as to whats going on?

I take it that the return character is "\r" to put the space in ?

Hi,

... replace the \r by \n, since mailers do not always like the \r
... next replace the \n by its urlencoded value %0a, so nothing gets upset by a return in the url

So actually use %0a for your line breaks

when i type all that in as above:

(mailto:bla@bla.net"+"?subject=bla&body=bla"+"%0a" +"bla"+"%0a");

flash5 gives me the error messge: line2: ')' or ',' expected

what to do about that syntax?
