I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I can't find an answer anywhere
else so here goes: I'm trying to do a "mailto:"; URL from my application
and I can't get NSURL to accept an ampersand in the addr-specs, even
though RFC 2368 and RFC 822 both say that it's allowed. When I take it
out and just use a single header in the URL the NSWorkspace fires my
mail app just fine. I've tried using the & hex value encoding in the
URL, but NSURL still returns nil. Does anyone have any ideas on how I
would format a mailto: URL to accept multiple headers?
Difficult to answer, since you don't specify what headers you want. You
can add a Cc, subject and some message text like so:
NSURL *url=[NSURL
URLWithString:@"
mailto:email@hidden?cc=email@hidden&subject=
My Subject Text&body=Message text"];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:url];
... which gives the following headers:
To: email@hidden
Cc: email@hidden
Subject: My Subject Text
Message text
If all you want is to get ampersands into your headers, & works just
fine OMM, like so:
NSURL *url=[NSURL
URLWithString:@"
mailto:email@hidden?cc=email@hidden&subject=
My Subject & Subject2Text&body=Message text"];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:url];
... which produces headers:
To: email@hidden
Cc: email@hidden
Subject: My Subject & Subject2Text
Message text
