I wanted to write a simple mailto tag that supports special (German) characters in the body of the letter: Ä ä Ö ö Ü ü ß
I wrote my code as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<a href="mailto:test@test.com?subject=test&body=START%20%C3%84%20%C3%A4%20%C3%96%20%C3%B6%20%C3%9C%20%C3%BC%20%C3%9F%20END">Email link</a>
</body>
</html>
I tested it on my machine and it worked fine,
outlook created an email with the body:
START Ä ä Ö ö Ü ü ß END
however, it does not work on my German client end. Email body:
START à à à à à à à à ¼ ß END
Where is the problem? Is there any permission for this error?
