VB Script mailto with body

[Phil Pendlebury]

Greetings,

I found this:

Code: Select all

VBSTART
Sub NewEmail(recipient,subject)
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "mailto:" & recipient & "?subject=" & subject
Set WshShell = Nothing
End Sub
VBEND
VBRun>NewEmail,[email protected],Testing

Tried a number of things but not working, I simple want to add some text to the email body.

Is there any way to add a body command to the above script?

What I need to do:

• Open the user's default email application
  Add a list in the body that has been already gathered by my script.(So this would be variable, like %datalist%)
  The end result would be that the email is already prepared for them and they can then send it.

(I was previously using the built in mail send process but the emails have started getting marked as spam, so I just want to format the email ready for the user to send manually).

Also I find that if the Subject is more than one word, the script above only uses one word. For example: "Missing Aircraft", becomes "Missing". I tried putting it in a variable and inserting in quotes, neither seems to work.

Any assistance appreciated.

nb. I would love to just switch to using a gmail account to send the email using sendmail but it seems to no longer work despite following all guides here.

I think this depends on the email client. You can add &body= parameter but I am not sure how many mail clients support it.

Hmm any idea what the format would be? I tried adding a body section and the script fails.
