mailto problem in Thunderbird

[masionas]

Hi guys,

Perhaps somebody had the same problem I have. Well, when passing the subject like this " Test subject - color - name - quality .." in the mailto link it won't get to Thunderbird's subject line. Though cc values are passed ok. Here's the actual link:

href="mailto:[e-mail]?Cc=[e-mail]&Subject=Test subject - mode - name - quality - 17.10 - User: Tedd"

Browser used IE6 on win XP.

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

why dont you try escaping the string, maybe its having problems with the dashes.

If it doesn't work, as a webmaster, there's nothing you can do. As a user, there might be an option in Thunderbird buried somewhere that you can change.

As a webmaster, you should use formmail.

Hi guys,

Thank you for replies. What I really need to achieve is to force opening default email client on visitor's computer when one clicks this link. Then pass to the email client info like addresses and subject. So I think formmail won't work for me because it is the server side thing.

To oxbaker,

I will try that, thanks.

BTW, removing dashes solved my problem. Thanks!
