Hi Experts,
I have a newsletter that is sent to different email clients. I have an link in the email asking to click to forward the newsletter to their friends. When the user clicks on the forward-email link on the newsletter, it should open a email window of the default email client with the subject and body should have the same contents as the newsletter. How can I accomplish this?
Is there a easier way than just using the mailto: component.? Because I do not want to reput the entire email in the body tag of the newsletter.
thanks guys
Sokka

Varies by browser vendor. Only testing will show you. You'll have to build two Windows workstations or virtual machines, I'm afraid. On one, install XP (with all the latest service packs), IE6 (with all the latest service packs), Opera (second-to-last version), Safari (second-to-last version), Chrome (second-to-latest version), and FF2. On the other, install XP or Vista (with all the latest service packs), IE7 (with all the latest service packs), Opera (latest), Safari (latest), Chrome (latest), and FF3. Usually if you do your testing with Safari on Windows, it usually carries over to the Mac. That's not a guarantee, but is more and more the case these days. Otherwise, purchase a mini-mac for testing Mac stuff too.sokka888 wrote:How may characters can be sent body part of a mailto: component?
