I have a MySql DB with text for email bodies and subjects in, the idea is to generate a hyperlink as follows:
mailto:fred@here.com?subject=here there mate&body=body goes here.
but what I get is mailto:fred@here.com?subject=here+there mate&body=body+goes+here.
Note + signs in the white spaces, I have tried manually adding the params rather than using the DB but just the same.
Anyone got any ideas how I fix this?

When I type into Google search "test abc" then the space is also removed from the URL and replaced with '+'. In result I see this URL in Google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=test+abc
Is this a problem?

Sorry then. Actually I didn't understand what you're doing. How are you generating those hyperlinks, or manually adding the params? And where?

the email address show on the page is from a database record, I have then added a mailto link so that users can click on the email address and send a prefilled email to the address specified by using the 'subject' and 'body' params.
The params are added in using the 'Href source' and adding an expression as follows:
Parameter source = body and Parameter name = "body of email goes here etc" (this entered in quotes as show) this is repeated for the subject parameter.
I hope this helps

BTW I looked into the google thing as you suggested and once the search button is pressed it does have a + in the address bar but not in the search field at the top of the page

OK, I would have to spend some tmie checking into this, but if this text is static then you could probably edit the HTML. For example your HTML could look like this:
<a href="mailto:{email_Src}?subject=test1 test2">{email}</a>
Hope this will work.

ok thanks I will try that, I do want the text to be dynamic eventually so the email body can be changed without editing the pages.
Thanks for your time
