I've created a link in Sharepoint using the Content Editor Web Part. My link uses html to open up an email with the fields to, cc, subject, and body filled out. However, in the cc section I need a number sign (#) for a mailbox. When I use the html code & #35;(minus the space) my entire code crumbles. Everything starting at the "&" disappears.
However, just for kicks I tried & pound;(minus the space) and the code works for a european pound sign. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?
You said you've tried # but what about &35;?
Note: I have no clue if that makes a difference at all, but I would try it... Also, I imagine this is some sort of quirky thing that you'll never see anywhere but sharepoint, but idk...
Try %23. This worked for me from a Sharepoint (2003) Content Editor webpart.
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?cc=%23212-555-1234
&subject=Hello again, %23007">
Send Mail</a>
The email generated by this link looks something like like this:
To: [email protected]
cc: #212-555-1234
Subject: Hello again, #007
