Mailto: URL compatibility

[Richard Turner]

In Netscaape (and probably others) this mailto produces the following email
message and sends it to the apprpriate address:

mailto:j...@bloggs.com?subject=stuff&line%20one/nline%202

subject: stuff

line one
line 2

Outlook produces this instead:

subject: stuff

line oneline 2.

Any ideas what OE would like in the mailto instead of /n to indicate a new
line?

Cheers folks,
Richard.

Try %10%13 or %13%10. I forget which.

It's %0D%0A. If you're lazy the JScript function escape() does it for you

maitto:h...@his.com?subject=sub&body=line%20one%0D%0Aline%20two

or

<script>
...
var it=escape( "mailto:h...@his.com?subject=sub&body=line one \nline two");

<form action=it method=post ...
