How make line break in email body text?

[Jimroko]

Hi

I have made a button to automatically write an email. Text automatically appears in the email body. It looks ugly though! There are no line breaks.
I tried putting <br /> into the places where I want a line break, but it doesn't work - I just get "<br />" appearing in my email text!

How can I have a line break appear in the body text of the email?

Many thanks!!
Jim

try \r\n

if that doesn't work, paste your code and it will be easier to help out.

<a href="mailto:someaddress@somedomain.com?cc=someotheraddress@somedomain.com&subject=some subject&body=Some body text.%0D%0ASome new line.">create email</a>

You can cause the body text to have a new line within the text you pre-populate by using the ascii characters for a carriage return (%0D) and line feed (%0A).

you know by putting your email on the website itself you will get a load of spam, plus alot of users dont have mail clients setup on their pc's, it would probably best to setup a simple contact form.

Yes, I do get lots of spam! I'm planning to make the email button an image, rather than text - would that help for this? Need to set up to take credit card payments really . . .

When you specify a calculation, there's a button labeled with this character. You can click it to add the line break to your quoted text.

You can look at munging techniques:

Choose the one that works best for you. The best method of doing what you want to do is to use a server-side script instead of a client side link.
