FLASH: Passing newline to email client

[Scott Burkette]

Sorry for the crosspost, I did not get help on flashcoders.


I am concatenating up a long mailto: link using variables from my 

Flash movie in the subject and body. All is fine except I can't get 

the email client to respect the &newline& action script parts of my 

link. The entire message is just run together. This is the case in 

Eudora and Outlook. I have tried to use \n instead of &newline&, this 

does not help.


I am using something like:

"mailto:"&/:friendemail&"?Subject=Education URL from 

"&/:name&"&body="&/:friendname&","&newline&"This is a great teaching 

URL sent to you from 

"&/:name&"."&newline&/:emailtext&newline&/:emaillink&newline&"This 

educational link is from blah, blah, blah."


Flash sees this with the newline formatting intact, but can't seem to 

communicate this to the email client.


Any help is appreciated.
