Have a long letter (see http://www.oceanforestlakes.com/vpc.asp "Sample
Letter") that I want to insert as a mailto: body value. Cannot seem to get
it to work. [In IE5.01, I'm getting an error 'default mail client not
properly configured'. Not so, as it works with a smaller block of text.]
I've tried encoding it (Server.HTMLEncode; Server.URLEncode; manually
encoding it -- spaces et al.);
Tried breaking it up into smaller variables and the stringing those
variables;
Running it all together as one string (for testing);
Etc.!
The problem seems to be the size, as it does work with only 1 paragraph.
However, I did a search for "mailto:" and could not find any information on
maximum length.
Anyone got any ideas here? I might have better luck with ASPMail or such,
but actually prefer to use the mailto: in this case.
Thanks.
