    javascript email

    Using this syntax:
    MailTo with multiline message in Body

    <a href="mailto:as tark1@unl.edu?b ody=The message's first
    paragraph.%0A%0 aSecond paragraph.%0A%0 AThird Paragraph.">

    Works fine, except cursor sets at end of "To:" addressee and not in body of
    email. If you start typing you are not in the body of the email but in the
    addressee line and it gets messed up. Anyway to have cursor set in body of
    email?

    Thanks for any help.

      Wrong NG.

      This has nothing to do with Javascript.

      It depends on the email programme you use.

          It is a setting of the email client of the machine - I don't believe
          it's possible to modify it.

          But there is another problem with your code.

          http://rfc.net/rfc2368.html (RFC2368) says:

          | note that line breaks in the body of
          | a message MUST be encoded with "%0D%0A".

          where MUST means [Cit. RFC2119] "an absolute requirement".

          So:

          <a href="mailto:as ta.@unl.edu?bod y=The message's first
          paragraph.%0D%0 A%0D%0ASecond paragraph.%0D%0 A%0D%0AThird
          Paragraph.">

          Hope this helps,
