mailto: question

[Wayne Sheffield]

I have a lable that I'm using as a link to send an email. In the
underlying code, I use ShellExecute to send a "mailto:" out. I know that
I can specify subject and message text by using the ?subject and ?body
clauses.
The question is how do I embed spaces in the subject and/or body?

Thanks,
Wayne

Because the fields are delimited ('?' and '&'), embedded spaces shouldn't be
a problem.

ShellExecute(Handle, 'open',
'mailto:som...@somewhere.net' +
'?cc=aaa@bbb' +
'&bcc=xxx@yyy' +
'&subject=This is the subject' +
'&body=This is the body',
nil, nil, sw_Normal);

Wayne,

Thanks.

Now, I'd like to include in the body a mailto link so that user can just
click on it and have an email already addressed and with the appropriate
subject. The best I can accomplish is to get the first word in the
subject line ie "mailto:xxx@yyy?subject=This is a test" gets me an email
with a subject of "This" when I click on the resultant link.

Thanks, Wayne

Thanks Al. I had tried everything but that "20" after the "%".
