mailto fails in IE with long body. any resolution?
- by MedicineMan
I am having a problem using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) to open mailto links with long messages.
After the user clicks on the link, IE changes to an about:blank page and never completes the call to outlook to create an email
Here's an example:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=123456789&body=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111">mailto fails in IE8</a>
If I shorten the list of 1's, the email is generated and can be sent.
Is this a known IE issue? What are the limitations?
