mailto function

[Monie]

I have this code which will capture any field in my recordset and put them in the body of the email!

[code]
<a href='mailto:<%=myemailfield%>?subject=BOOKING STATUS
&body=<%=namefield%>,%0A<%=agefield%>,%0A<%=IDfiel d%>,%0A
<%=addressfield%>>Mail</a>
[/body]

%0A is for page break or
in html!
[b]But what about or bold text?
how can i make the text bold inside the &body?

Monie..... you cannot achieve this.

The encoding of the mailto line allows ASCII characters (At a push, unicode) only.... it does not allow markup to be rendered on processing.

Sorry!

Why dont you have the WEBSERVER send the email. You will be able to format it however you like then.

[Monie]

actually...
I dont know what is the webserver that my university using!
And the user of the syatem want me to do this method, using outlook!

thanx anyway for the idea!

use:
<%=Server.URLEncode(myemailfield)%>

that will change your symbols into codes.

then just use response.write as you normally would
