[flexcoders] text from a form into an e-mail?

[Kearney Buskirk]

Hi

I'm trying to move text filled into a form in an app being built with  
Flash Builder beta2 into the body of an e-mail. I'm trying to do this  
via the default program on the user's computer because it seems  
potentially simplest. If there's a better basic strategy or a big  
problem my aforementioned strategy, please clue me in.

What I've tried that hasn't worked is calling this function on  
clicking the Submit button:

private function sendEmail():void
{
        var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:recepi...@isp.com?body="+  
nameFormItem);
        navigateToURL(u, "self");
}

I suspect there's at least a problem with the code after the email  
address....

Better for the FormItem text to be put into Model first? Need to use  
an HTTP Service?

Thanks for your attention.
