| 677627 | 2008-06-12 00:01:00 | Hi there Im using Frontpage and Im wondering how I can go about adding a few words of text to the Body of an email link on a Webpage. I have the Subject matter sorted out,and Ive seen it done in Emails before where pre-worded text sits in the Email body, just cant workout how to do it in Frontpage, or the correct way to do it in code. For example, <a href="mailto:meandyou@xttra.co.nz?subject=I want to attend the AGM next week">meandyou@xttra.co.nz</a> Does the Address & subject lines just fine, how do I add text to the body. Thanks John in Mosgiel. |

| 677628 | 2008-06-12 03:00:00 | Copied from here (www.ianr.unl.edu): Add entry in the "Body" field: body=Your message here Within the body use "%0A" for a new line, use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line (paragraph) Hope that helps :) |

| 677629 | 2008-06-12 05:15:00 | Thanks for the link, BUT it doesnt work . I guess I'll have to find an Email link where text is already pre-entered into the body and view the code . John . |

| 677630 | 2008-06-12 08:06:00 | Hmmm... I've just tried it and it works ok for me ... here's my code: <a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com?subject=Hello There Everybody&body=Here is some text">Email me</a> Is this similar to what you had? |

| 677631 | 2008-06-12 08:29:00 | I'd say it'd come down to support (mailto:someone@somewhere.com?subject=Hello There Everybody&body=Here is some text) from the email client. Edit: The above worked in Thunderbird 2 for me. |

| 677632 | 2008-06-12 08:49:00 | Ive managed it, While this link is pretty good, like lots of ideas and suggestions, if you want to add text to the Body, you need to add a & not the ? they suggest in the Link page www.ianr.unl.edu Thanks to all who replied. John. |

| 677633 | 2008-06-12 09:58:00 | ...if you want to add text to the Body, you need to add a & not the ? they suggest... In URLs, a "?" separates a path from a query string and "&" separates name/value pairs. For example in - mailto:steve@me.com?subject=Hi Steve&body=Just catching up - the path is blue, the query string is green and the names of each name/value pair is underlined. |
