This is a tricky one. You are passing the whole string to the email client as a URL, therefore you have to escape the new line character for the same reason that you escaped the location.href. This is what you need:
  mail_str += "I found your project at " + encodedURL + escape("\r\n");
I have included both carriage return and new line for good measure. Note that you cannot use #Chr(13)##Chr(10)# because these characters are generated server-side, creating a new line in the rendered code, which will cause a _javascript_ syntax error.

chr is a CF function, and needs to be within <cfoutput> tags.
 
Also, convieniance should be convenience  :)

Subject: [cfaussie] _javascript_ syntax?

we are using a from mailer on a page to identify a project in _javascript_ & it driving me nuts, i believe i have to use a combination of Chr(13)&Chr(10) to induce a line break, but im stuffed if i can get it to work
 
<script language="_javascript_">
<!-- Begin
function mailpage()
{
  encodedURL = escape(location.href);
  mail_str = "mailto:#ent_Email#?subject= Tell me more about your project";
  mail_str += "&body= " ;
  mail_str += "I found your project at " + encodedURL + Chr(13)&Chr(10);
  mail_str += "Please contact me at your convieniance to discuss this opportunity";
  location.href = "">}
// End -->
</script>
 
this produces body text
I found your project at http://businessgrow.org/invest/entrepreneurs/dsp_proj_detail.cfm?opp_id=3Chr(13)Chr(10)Please contact me at your convieniance to discuss this opportunity
