Lotus Notes mailto: link from the browser

A web page has a mailto: links. When a user clicks a link that has over 5 or 6 email addresses e.g. HTTP code (<a href="mailto: email address, email address, email address etc…) Notes does not create a new message with email addresses in the To: field.

Any suggestions why this is happening…

If it works when there are fewer email addresses (but more than one), that suggests you’re running into a length limitation of the URL. How many characters long are the individual email addresses? Do they contain special characters that must be URL-encoded (which uses up more characters)? Is there any way to abbreviate them? Are you sure that each of the email addresses in the list that fails, works when it’s used alone in a mailto link? Maybe one of them has an odd character that causes a URL syntax error.

If some recipients are members of the same organization, you might consider making a group of them in your mail server, so that the email could be addressed to the group instead of to a list of individuals.

Before R7.0.3 (and R8) the total length of the mailto command must be less than 240 characters (including mailto).

You sure your format is correct?Click here to send an email

Is the text formatted as pass-thru html?

I just tested this format and it worked fine.
