Mailto: question

[fiefie.niles]

Either in ASP or VB using Internet Explorer, how can I do a mailto
where the body has a link, and the link has a T=5&S=2 like the
following?

mailto:fi**********@gmail.com?subject=Help Desk Ticket&body=You have a
ticket waiting at localhost/http://mywebsite/abc/mypage.asp?T=5&S=2

When I do the above mailto, it truncates the "&S=2" and the body
becomes
mailto:fi**********@gmail.com?subject=Help Desk Ticket&body=You have a
ticket waiting at localhost/http://mywebsite/abc/mypage.asp?T=5

Thank you.

You have to encode the & into URL format. I believe it would be something
like:
T=5%38S=2

Actually, it's T=5%26S=2

Not %38

Stop wanting that. That type of link will only work some of the time,
for some people. Additionally, there is nothing that would keep the
user from changing the subject line, and messing up your message.
Better to do this in a form.
