Hi

I am trying to create a HTML email that can be sent out to clients. I want to have a button that allows them to accept a quotation and automatically send a reply.

This is how far I have got

I have the email ready
I have an acceptance flash button I have the following html attached to it

mailto:address@domain.com?subject=accept

Any ideas how to rectify this

However when I click on the button it take me to my email package but has the following in the send field

to: address@domain.com%20subject%20
 
<AHREF=&quot;mailto:anyone@wherever.com?subject=Re: Remove&quot;>Unsubscribe</A>

FYI:
Per AJ, using the [?subject] will work most of the time but not all. This is not 'official' HTML (according to w3c) and its use may cause the link to behave in unexpected ways in some browsers/email clients. For example, the email may not be sent.

An alternative format is:
<a href=&quot;mailto:email@isp.net&quot; title=&quot;Remove&quot;>Remove</a>

The [title] attribute is a valid HTML 4.0 attribute and will not cause the email to disappear in email clients that do not support it.
