You must escape the body for it to work
var subject = "Place subject here";
var body = "Test: \n\n New line here! \n\n And another!"
top.location.href = "mailto:" + "&subject=" + escape(subject) + "&body=" + escape(body);
var subject = "Place subject here";
var body = "Test: \n\n New line here! \n\n And another!"
top.location.href = "mailto:" + "&subject=" + escape(subject) + "&body=" + escape(body);

50racer is right, but so are you. your soloution just works around using the escape function. for example, the escape function converts the space (' ') character to '%20', I would bet that '%0A%0D' is just the escaped version of the carriage return. Robert Carpenter

%0A is the carriage return, %0D is the line feed. DOS and Windows use the combination of the two to indicate a newline in a text file, Unix uses only the carriage return. Tracy Dryden
