Hi forum,
I use the following code to open the users default mail client with values set in reciever, subject and body fields:
Dim msg As String = String.Format("mailto:{0}{1}",
Uri.EscapeDataString("[email protected]"), "?")
msg &=
String.Format("subject={0}{1}", Uri.EscapeDataString("subject text"),
"&")
msg &= String.Format("body={0}", Uri.EscapeDataString("body
text"))
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(msg)
I've testet this with Thunderbird for languages like Thai and Danish and all seems to be working perfectly.
For Outlook (2003) strange things happens. Fx. "æ", "ø" and "å" are shown as
"æ", "ø" and "å".
Should I be using an alternative escape
function or does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

msg &=
String.Format("body={0}", Uri.UnescapeDataString("body text æ, ø and å"))It works in Outlook 2003, I did not test the others as you have.
