Try something like this:

<a href="mailto:you@your.com?subject=test&cc=someone@your.com&bcc=someoneelse@their.com&body=testing">send</a>

Not that I'm aware of (with plain ole' HTML), but I could be wrong...

I believe you can use line break "\n" in the body of the email. You can't use <BR> though. Try it out and see if it works.

Didn't work for me, when I tried adding it in through the &body in the mailto:

OOP's! Guess that shows that I should test out my replies before posting. Thanks pyro. :D

I was working on a similar problem and found a webpage that explains how to do a line break in the message body in a mailto tag...

... not in poker after a folded hand :)

Looks like it may come in handy, depite server-side emailing being more reliable.
