having trouble getting multiple lines to work correctly in a mailto link
In my case I’m testing it with an Outlook default mail reader.
The following is put in an anchor href:
mailto:email@address.com?&subject=test&body=type%20your&body=message%20here
only “message here” shows up in the email body. (whether I use chrome or IE)
thoughts?
You can use URL encoding to encode the newline as
%0A.mailto:email@address.com?subject=test&body=type%20your%0Amessage%20hereWhile the above appears to work in many cases, user olibre points out that the RFC governing the mailto URI scheme specifies that
%0D%0A(carriage return + line feed) should be used instead of%0A(line feed). See also: Newline Representations.
