'To insert an email address as a variable, use something like this:
temp$ = "[email protected]"
EMessage$ = "mailto:" + temp$ + "?subject=gbSnippets&body=Comments:"
'Each component in EMessage$ is separated by the ampersand (&) sign. Only the
'first component after the initial email address has a question mark (?) preceding
'the ampersand. Email clients vary on what they will recognize with mailto: but
'here are common options:
'mailto:[email protected]
'[email protected]
'[email protected]
'&subject=Shipping%20Information%20Request
'&body=Please%20tell%20me%20if%20my%20order%20has%20shipped!">Shipping Request</a>
'Usually, if an email client simply ignores components it doesn't recognize.
'If you need parentheses in the text, use Chr$(34)
'Any $crlf in the body of the message must be replaced with "%OD%0A"
Replace $CrLf With "%0D%0A" In temp$
