RE: [PHP-DB] I have a problem to add a new line to the body of my email when I am using '<a href="mailto: ...>" function

I never knew that Body was supported. I had tried in years ago before it worked, and never looked back. If you look at the source code for this page (http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/husted_mailto/mailto.html) you'll see that they use the javascript function "escape()" on the body text. I believe this handles the characters such as spaces and CR/NL. Though it seems you are doing it the same way they are (%0D%0A). If it works on some browsers, but not others, then it's probably a compatibiilty issue, not a scripting issue. You don't indicate which browsers this works/doesn't work on. Or which mail clients you're using. Finally, this is not really a PHP issue, and especially not a PHP-DB issue. --- Martin Rajcok <martin@rajcok.com> wrote: > I believe the body is supported.
