Adding subject line to mailto

[zonkd]

When we do a mailto, as in mailto:[e-mail], how is the subject line added, please, Gurus? Cheers

Here is a sample:

<a href="mailto: [e-mail]?subject=Questions/Comments">E-mail Me</a>

You can also prefill the message text to, let me know if you'd like a sample of that too...

Your better off using encoded characters for anything not a-z 0-9:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Questions%2FComments">E-mail Me</a>

This is especially true of spaces. While some mail clients will correctly parse a space or a +, many won't:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Questions%20or%20Comments">E-mail Me</a>

instead of

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Questions or Comments">E-mail Me</a>

Many thanks, tjhorne, rocknbil, all noted and appreciated.

tjhorne, yes, I would appreciate seeing a sample of a message prefill. Cheers

Here is what I use for simple e-mails that I have to send out on a regular basis, I don't know if I'd recommend it for anything really long.

<a href="mailto: [e-mail]?subject=Test%20Message&body=Please%20add%20NAMEOFUSER%20to%20the%20MG%20group.">

How do you hard code a line break in the body of the email message? So the message might look like this:

Name:
Address:
City:
State:
