[RESOLVED] [2008] Email through default email package - Newline not working

[christopherpm]

I am attempting to write some code that will launch the users default email application, and pre-fill the fields - To, Subject, Body

The Process.Start command launches my copy of Outlook and successfully puts everything in the correct fields.

The problem I am having is that the whole body appears on one line, regardless of either the 'vbCrLF' or 'Environment.Newline' or '<BR />' statements that appear.

For example

Dim sParams As String = ""
 
        Dim emailto = "[email protected]"
        Dim subject = "This is a subject line"
        Dim body = ""
 
        body = Label1.Text & Environment.NewLine
        body = body & Label3.Text & Environment.NewLine
        body = body & Label2.Text
 
 
        sParams = "mailto:" & emailto & "&subject=" & subject & "&body=" & body
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sParams)

For info - Label2.Text contains 2 short lines of text with a vbCrLf at the end of line 1.
