mailto fails in IE where there is a long body text. Is there any way to resolve this?

Question

I am having a problem using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) to open mailto links with long messages.

After the user clicks on the link, IE changes to an about:blank page

Answer 1

I also tried with the solution CBono posted but I coudn't make it work either. I found that when you directly paste the mailto URL in the browser it has no problem no matter how long the string is. So, I implemented something like this:

Send Email

As CBono mentioned, if you want this to be dynamic, you just need to pass the mailto string as parameter to the function and assing it to the sMailto variable.

Hope this helps.
