ok so the subject doesn't really mean much... but from the link of an email, for example,

<a href="mailto:hammerslane@hammerslane?subject=Stuff&body=BodyBodyBlah">

will display "BodyBodyBlah" in the body of an email, if clicked.
is there a way to include "<br>" (or something that has the same effect) in the body section? typing <br> in the "&body=" section just literally displays <br> in the email, when clicked.

thanks

No,unfortunately you can not do that.
the format is browser driven.

so there's no way to have a carriadge return in an email when clicked? "&nbsp;" works in an outlook email... is there a "&alt;" version of <br>?
cheers

I've not tried it, but since %20 will embed a space, perhaps %10 or %13 will give a newline (clutching at straws here :) )

no luck :( they're just symbols...
edit: i just used my brain and looked up a couple of url encoding sites.... "%0d" is the encoding for a carriage return.
:cool:
