Hi, have you tried urlEncode(RETURN) yet?
Here's an old post of mine from Jan 2001, where this came up:
[Sending an email using BudAPI (baOpenURL)]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, the linefeeds can be a problem. This works fine in Outlook Express (W98),
however:
on mouseUp me
theURL = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
theSubj = "Mail from Director"
LF = urlEncode(RETURN)
theMess = "Hi, this is the message!" &LF& "This is the second line."
theMess = theMess &LF&LF
theMess = theMess & "Here is the second paragraph." &LF
theMess = theMess & "This is the second line of the second paragraph."
-- Here I use BuddyAPI, by the way:
baOpenURL("mailto:"; & theURL& "?subject=" &theSubj& "&body=" &theMess,
"normal")
end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And continued:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Steven, you can change the following line:
LF = urlEncode(RETURN)
to:
theOS = (the platform).char[1..3]
LF = urlEncode(RETURN, theOS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this helps,
Bertil Flink

Hi list...
I'm using buddy API's baOpenURL to generate an email message and
populate it with some body text. (We're all on Windows XP using
Outlook.) My issue is that the code below doesn't render a carriage
return in the body. Anyone ever do this with baOpenURL?
Thanks,
- Michael M.
on emailTest()
theEmail = "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" & "&body=" & "line 1" & numToChar(10) &
numToChar(13) & "line 2"
baOpenURL(theEmail, "Normal")
end
