Response Use MailTo

[Matt F]

First off, my experience is primarily with windows apps, so I appologize for
the simplicity of this.

This is using v1.1 of the framework:

I've added a button to a aspx page that generates a new email - contents,
who it's going to etc. info generated in code.

The entire value of the link is in a string called MailString

I've confirmed the email is opened on the client machine etc. via
Response.Redirect(MailString);

The problem is this is obviously not quite what I want -- this clears the
page in the browser. I want to leave the user on the page and just open the
new mail message.

Any suggestions?

Open it in a new window.

Walter,

Thank you for your response. As mentioned in my original post, this is for
use with V1.1 of the framework and the ClientScript class doesn't exist.

Other suggestions?

Walter,

Thanks so much for your help with this. That handles just what I need very
nicely.

I'm beginning to think that my studies into asp.net should probably also
include a sprinkling of Java.

Walter,

In using this initially it appears to work, however I've hit a limitation of
the implementation in testing. In my mailto string I include the email
address, subject line and body of the email.

The problem I'm running into is for some reason the body portion is only
passing the first 100 characters. I need around double that.

Found the problem here --- not a size limitation, but rather a rookie
mistake. A part of the body that I am populating includes and & character
in a url. Once I swapped out the & for the hex value of /26 all works fine.
