But if I eliminate the body from the mailto code it works fine. That is why I am pretty sure it is the body and not to, cc, or subject. Without the body those work.

Just on case, what is the email addresses for the TO and CC and Subject for this record?

- IvanWeiss5 years agoQrew CaptainSo I tried it again from a different computer just for the fun of it. The same result, except when I switched the body to test this time the mailto worked.
I right now have the following to start stripping out characters I can think of:
var text BodyFirstStrip = SearchAndReplace([Email Body],"'",""); // change the single quote to null
var text BodySecondStrip = SearchAndReplace($BodyFirstStrip,"/","");
"mailto:" & [External Email Addresses] & "?subject=" & URLEncode([Email Subject]) &
"&cc=" & URLEncode([Internal Email List]) &
"&body=" & URLEncode($BodySecondStrip)
Any other thoughts?

------------------------------ - IvanWeiss5 years agoQrew CaptainI actually did some more googling on this..... Maybe it is a url limit due to character count? Any ideas to get around that?

How long is your URL. How many characters. If you expose the URL and paste it into a word document you can get it to do a character count for you.

Blake, I guess that could be an interesting option. I have not looked into the pipeline but would it trigger who it came from or would the email generate from a generic quick base or predetermined email address?
