Mailto: tag, how do I insert line breaks..?

Hi, I have a non PHP questions which probably doesn't fit in this mailling lists, but I have a feeling that someone can help me because it is very HTML related. I was busy making a small piece of PHP echo code which generates a link which enables you to click this and startup your email software with a basic message in it.. The URL is basically the following: mailto:$email?body=Dear $name, We would like to inform you.... With kind regards, $sender&subject=Message send on $date about $subject &bcc=$bccopy When clicked you will get the $email text as email address, the Dear $name... etc as body of the email etc etc.. Now here the non-PHP questions.. I searched everywhere, but how can I get line breaks inserted IN the email program..?? After the 'Dear $name,' part I would like to have 2 line breaks.. Then after the We would like to inform you... another 2 breaks.. I tried \n, I tried <BR> (<BR> you simply see this as email text.).. Is this possible.. Hope someone understande the problem.. (I am not trying to get breaks in my source, or what you see on the screen, but line breaks in the email text.. Thanks. Bye Bye David
