Hi All,
I want to insert text into the body of an email from a link on my menu. I can do this by placing &body in the link with the body text required, however it appears in one continuous sentence/line.
Question Is there a code that I can place within the link text to cause a carriage return and have the autogenerated email body text display as follows :
line 1 aaaaaaaa
line 2 bbbbbbbb
Line 3 ccccccc
as opposed to :
line 1 aaaaaaaa line 2 bbbbbbbb Line 3 ccccccc
Autogenerated Email Text

I scoured google for a bit and found nothing. As far as I can tell, I dont think its possible. If you are using IIS with ASP for your pages, you might want to try getting a server side emailing program. Try aspemail.com or aspsmart.com which can create emails for you, they just need to be installed on your hosts server, so get in touch with your host about getting that. If you are using a linux server, I am sure there are alot of other email programs out there, just google 'em. Good luck in your search!

Geez, gotta love ascii hex characters. I had no idea those would be interpreted by the email client in such a way! Wow, thats a great thing to know for future reference. Also, if you would like any other neat characters to go into the email, check out http://www.asciitable.com and the value in the "Hx" column would be what you would put after the percent symbol in your mailto tag. Very nice detective work!
