It is likely the single quote in Hi Jimmy hope you're .....

Try this

var text Body = SearchAndReplace([Body],"'",""); // change the single quote to null

"mailto:" & [External Email Addresses] & "?subject=" & URLEncode([Email Subject]) & "&body=" & URLEncode($Body) & "&cc=" & URLEncode([Internal Email List])

I gave that a shot and no luck.  Oddly enough, on my mac it drafts the email but the body is blank.  On my PC it does not even draft the email.  I did confirm when I remove body from the mailto statement it works fine.  So it is clearly something in this body that is doing it....
