Hi,

<a href="mailto:foobar@example.com?Subject=Test&body=Click <a href='http://www.example.com'>here</a> to go to the site">E-mail</a>

If i click on the above link, it opens outlook with message body as

Click <a href='http://www.example.com'>here</a> to go to the site

Is it possible to avoid <a href tag and just display "here" in the message and if someone clicks on the link "here", it navigates to the URL.

Thanks,

Think it depends on outlook and I doubt there is anything you can do with the html.
