mailto and cc.

[Anon]

i'm doing something like this for a mailto in a page i'm building:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Please add me to the distribution list for this report. The report number is<?=$row->RptNumber;?>" class="MenuBox"><font color="#006666">here</font></a>

obviously the first php statement will return whatever report number has been selected.

what i'm wanting to do is add a CC to the mailto where it's CC'd to <?=$row->CurrentOwner;?> which is the Current Owner of the report, obviously.

i've tried this:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]&cc=<?=$row->CurrentOwner?>?subject=Please add me to the distribution list for this report. The report number is<?=$row->RptNumber;?>" class="MenuBox"><font color="#006666">here</font></a>

and it doesn't work. anyone have any insight?

thank you very much.

a href="mailto:[e-mail]?cc=[e-mail]&bcc=[e-mail]&subject=
This%20is%20only%20a%20test">Click here to send email</a>.

This is where I found that information!

yeah, this works. but it doesn't work when i use <?=$row=CurrentOwner;?> in place of the email address. the end php statement breaks the href anchor, i believe.

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]&cc=<?=$row->CurrentOwner?>?subject=Please add me to the distribution list for this report. The report number is<?=$row->RptNumber;?>" class="MenuBox">here</a>

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't these two different?

a href="mailto:[e-mail]?cc=[e-mail]&bcc=[e-mail]&subject=
This%20is%20only%20a%20test">Click here to send email</a>.

There is a ? after the domain name, then all successive additions are following an & sign.

Try putting your &cc=<?=$row->CurrentOwner?> after the subject. The ? must be first, before any of the & options.
