I don't have an answer to the line break problem, but you can spawn the mail
client with some JavaScript:
document.location='mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
Note that this may have some funky side effects with some browsers, so try
it out before adding this to a production site.
Out of curiosity, why are you opening the mail client? Why not just use
CFMAIL to send mail as if from the user?
Also note that using "?body=" in your mailto: link can fail sometimes and is
not a wholly reliable way of doing this. A few years back, I wrote a FAQ
entry for doing the same with the subject. The same ideas apply here.
