Line breaks not working for mailto: &body

[rich_wagner]

The mailto: protocol allows line breaks in the &body attribute value
using %0A for a line break and %0A%0A for a line break followed by a
blank line. However, line breaks are apparently not supported on the
iPhone. For example, the following link works as intended in my
Mail.app on my MBP, but iPhone Mail.app ignores the line break
requests.

<a href="mailto:ja...@ibmcorp.com?subject=Meeting&body=Dear Jack,%0A
%0AI look forward to our upcoming meeting together this Friday at 8am.

I thought there was an answer in some older post, saying that the iPhone mailto doesn't support regular text "formatting" but it accepts HTML for the  body. So if you want new lines in your e-mail create an HTML body with p, div or br elements to separate the lines.

%0A is working fine for me. You can see it at http://metoob.com/iphilo
by selecting a video and clicking the "share" button.
