Hi All,

hopefully somebody knows this... we are generating emails in our application that open a "mailto:" link. So a new email message opens in the email client of the user of the application.

However when the URL gets bigger than around 2k (2020 to be precies) characters it starts going wrong.

Does anybody know how to create BIG emails using the mailto: url? Or some other generic way (needs to support Groupwise)...

Regards,
Robert

There is a limit to the size of a URL the browsers will accept. I imagine that you are bumping your heads on this limit.

Unfortunately, we indeed found no 'solution' for the problem... however we could solve it by creating an 'Send email' page to send the email via the server.... now we could use POST request and use "BIG" data...

Luckily our customer didn't see the sending via another emailadres as a problem...

Thanks for your help...

Regards,
Robert
