Hi Keith Thanks for the response. Yes, I tried:
escape(ta.text) which is the same thing as escaping the "body" var I would think. It gave me the contents of all the text, but on a single line, i.e, without any carriage returns. So one step closer, but still not perfect. --- In [email protected], "Keith Reinfeld" <keithreinf...@...> wrote: > > Have you tried: > > > > escape(body) > > > > ? > > > > Regards, > > -Keith > http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net > <http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net/> > > > _____ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of cedar.rabbit > Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 11:56 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] mailto from textarea in AIR application - line breaks > fail in windows > > > > I have an AIR app that needs to open and pre-populate an email in the user's > default email > application.
