Mailto win98/exchange issue 1

[ArkyBass]

I'm trying to write a bat file that will generate an email from any (Windows) OS Win98 and up. This works great in XP/2000 with MS Outlook but when I test on a Win98 box running MS Exchange the whole line of code (including the hex %% stuff) ends up in the "TO:" field.

It seems not to recognize the ? before the 'subject' parm. I've tried using an & and a ^& instead but same results.

START mailto:dan.mccracken@adem.state.ar.us?subject=ADEM%%20ePOP%%20Alert%%20Installation^&body=At%%20%DATE%,%%20%TIME%,%%20user%%20%USERNAME

Is this a limitation of Exchange or is there something I can do to fix this problem??

Thanks for reading my post!!

Could be wrong but IIRC Exchange Inbox is not MAPI32 compliant so it will not recognise your code input.
