Mailto-Link Problem with “&” in Subject/Body

  • Hi
    Having a Link like this:
    mailto:[email protected]?subject=Infos RED & BLUE
    –> “& BLUE” is cut off, when mail-program shows mail

    Changing to: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Infos RED & BLUE
    –> “& BLUE” is still cut off

    Changing to: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Infos RED %26 BLUE
    –> “&” is omitted: subject: “BLUE RED”

    Any idea to force the plugin to show the &-Symbol?

    Thanks

    Hello.
    Use the construct %26 for &-Symbol.

    But for symbol % – use HTML code. You can find on https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0025

    mailto:[email protected]?subject=Infos RED %26 BLUE

    Hi
    Thank You!
    It works – BUT no for ever…:

    1.
    Your Answer which I see in the Browser is not what I see in the Notification-Mail
    Browser: Use the construct %26 for &-Symbol.
    Mail: Use the construct & # 0 3 7 ; 2 6 for &-Symbol.(I put the spaces)

    2.
    Using that construct in the mailto-string –> it works (I do not loose the &)

    3. BUT:
    Refreshing the float-menu-site (i.e. wanting to change something) I see that the construct has gone and I see only %26 instead and in the Mail the & disappeared again.

    So the solution with thois construct is onyl stable if I do not touch the float-menu-site anymore.

    any Idea?

    Yes, you’re right. It should be inserted and not touched again, as the construction is being transformed into a symbol.
