Could someone please help with a mailto action
I am trying something like this, I want the text in $the_message to be
formatted. The results I get is unformatted. line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4
... line etc.

<?
<a href='mailto:email@xxxxxxx&subject=$subject&body=$the_message'>mail me</a>
?>

<? $the_message=
" line 1\n"
." line 2\n"
." line 3\n"
." line 4\n"
." line 5\n"
." line 6\n"
." line 7\n"
." line etc.\n";
?>

Ouch! Using the client's default email program in this way is very unreliable. Not everyone has a (default) mail program, and not all mail programs understand 'body=.' :(

But if you still want to go down that route replace \n at the end of each line with %0d.
