Mailing Safari URLs via Mail - revisited
Authored by: lrivers on Mar 26, '03 04:12:32PM
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?
