Mailing Safari URLs via Mail - revisited
Authored by: RandyMan on Mar 26, '03 03:18:18PM

Make a slight change by adding angle brackets after the "BODY=" and a the very end and you've got a URL that will work in all major and sub-major email clients when the URL spans multiple lines!

[I tried to actually show this in this reply, but I was unable to figure out how to get the angle brackets to be interpreted literally instead of being thought of as part of the HTML. Sorry.]

javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY="

WIth the angle brackets to avoid breaking long URLs

Get angle brackets to show up by using the HTML code for them, e.g. > & <

Use the [ code ] tags...

The only reliable way to get the brackets (and the backslash) in Geeklog is to use the new [ code ] / [ /code ] tag pair (without the spaces). Then you can just type them in as you normally would.

The method with the HTML entities works, but each time you hit Preview, the entities are converted to the real characters in the input area, so you have to remember to convert them back AND not to hit Preview before the last Submit :-(.

So just use [ code ] instead:
javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+
  '&BODY=<'+escape(location.href)+'>'
I think that's what everyone was trying to write, correct?
