clientside "mailto:" headache

[wrothwell]

Hi,

I need a feature in my pages for the user to send comment by email. With mailto: I fill in the address, subject and body etc.

It works ok with Outlook but it falls apart with Lotus Note and also on Mac systems. Can anyone tells me is there anything I can do to resolve this, or I have to resort to server side email services?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Will,

If you use client side scripting you're constantly up against the client settings.

Yes - the only sure-fire way to be able to email is to do it on the server, You may well have surfers using a Library/public machine - with no email client at all.

Another advantage of doing it server side is that you don;t have to expose your email address!
