Alternative code for "mailto"

12 New Member
'm attempting to send a mailto: and include a link in the body. Has anyone done this?
I have one problem with this.
One appln have a link to send an email using “mailto:”.
Previosly this funtionality was using with outlook as default email client, recently clients migrated to Lotus Notes and it is not working.
Body part of mail message will get appended to the subject portion.
The problem is with one link in the email body is having ? symbol. We tried with alternative options like encoding ,but not working. Even if it is escaped, it will not work.
Guys, Can u please suggest any alternative options….. If u r free…..

My problem is with the body part.
1)Body part contains two links, which is having '?' for passing arguments.
2)Also body content is greater than 200 characters....
Both these conditions will have problems in Notes.
If the '?' is escaped also, it will not take.
In outlook it works fine, but in Lotus notes if any of these two conditions occured, it will get appended to subject portion, when the mailto: pops up the default email client

If I don't do so, then it doesn't work.) The problem occurs when it is time to display the encoded version. It

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
