[AccessD] Generating Body Text in Automated E-mail links

Thank you indeed Bob and may I reassure you?

The intent is definitely not to generate Spam, I battle it every day now.....

It is for a promotional "Mother of All Search Engines" website for users to recommend the site to others.  (personal referrals
only!).   That is why the e-mail address was not included - users enter it themselves.

You may check out your contribution at http://www.engines2go.com/!   {It is the only search engine I know of that searches multiple
search engines and automatically and simultaneously opens multiple web pages.  If there are any others I'd be interested to hear}

What do you mean a "?" is a delimiter?  (Does delimiter mean it is sometimes interpreted to signal end of text or something?)

Thank you again.

Kind regards,
David Hingston

David

Only the first parameter uses the question mark; all subsequent must use
the ampersand. Also, it is MUCH safer to always use %20 instead of a space,
due to some programs having problems with parsing. Don't forget to put a
recipient email address after the 'mailto:' and substitute the %3F for your
question mark, since that is a delimiter.

<a
href="mailto:NAME at DOMAIN.COM?subject=www.Engines2go.com%20Hi!%20Would%20

PS - I am only reply to this in the hopes that you are not planning to
propagate spam, which your link suspiciously looks like ................
