A little over a year ago there was some discussion about the limitations on the size of the command line that can be transmitted to one's email program via the Launch command.  It appears, even using the Note format, that about 2,045 characters were the limit.  My current effort on implementing a mass e-mailing option from my database pretty much confirms this.  I'm running XP and 1.863xRT03 and get this message if my characters exceed this limit: The Operating System Denied Access To The Specified File.
 
My coding for the final commands are:
SET VAR vemailsubj NOTE = ('mailto:' + '' + '?subject=' + .vsubject + ' &bcc=' + .vemailaddress)
LAUNCH .vemailsubj
 
Although the variable is properly created and can be filled beyond 2,045 using NOTE, the LAUNCH command will generate the above error message.  If formatted as TEXT, it gets truncated to 1,464 characters and LAUNCH is successful, as is NOTE format with less than 2,045 characters.
 
Aside from generating one email at a time, has anyone come up with a work-around for this?
