of the message will be long and I need to imbed carrage returns,
however the \r and \n will not work. How can I accomplish this??

For use on the Web or on an intranet. If it's the former, stop now. Mailto
links, such as the one you're trying to create, will fail on some systems.

This can easily be achieved with a mail form. If your host doesn't provide
this service, there are plenty of free ones available.

You don't since mailto: URIs don't work.

Wow, I am impressed. It only took you 16 days to utter that nonsense.
