Mailto: open in new window

I have a mailto: button in formula-rich text code that works fine and will launch and populate an email with text and fields from QB. It works fine, but it takes the user away from the original form ...

APIs and custom code

  That worked perfectly. Thanks Mark!
  
  If not too much trouble, I'm trying to figure out how to change the font type and size in the href (so the email subject and body are certain font/size). If you have any suggestions, that would be great... same code.

    As far as I know that is not possible. That MailTo command is very generic and will work on all email systems. It does not support Rich Text. I imagine if you start trying even to bold your subject one or body with <b> it will just write those characters into the email. But I have never actually tried to test that so I would welcome someone to prove me wrong.
