I've got a mailto link that works, except for the message body. No matter what I try, it will not display the data in the message on separate lines. This is an example of what I want for the body:
Order id: 12345
From quote: 9999
However, no matter what I do, it shows in the email as:
Order id: 12345 From quote: 9999
I've tried:
$msgblock = "Order ID: ".$wordspec->wordndx->GetValue(); $msgblock .= "\r\n"; $msgblock .= "From quote: ".$wordspec->wquotenum->GetValue();
It's ignoring the new line. I also tried constructing the msgblock using <br> to see if that would help and it doesn't. It still gives me no new line and the <br> shows in the message body.
Any suggestions?

Try using chr(10) and chr(13) instead of \r\n.

Good idea, but it didn't work. While trying to figure it out, I tried sending the email automatically using mail() and I can get the correct format if I use <br>. So maybe it's something with the email client itself? Any other time I've used mailto, I've only had to send the addressee and the subject.
Thanks for trying to help. I was not sending the email automatically for a reason, but I can live with it and use mail() instead.

Also try urlencode().

I would recommend using PHPMailer class
(http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/). You may not need the features
today, but eventually you will. Start using it now and you won't have
to go back later to rewrite your code.
