I take it you mean a mailto string. A HTML encoded carriage return/line feed pair is %0D%0A. A space character is %20. You can't use HTML tags to format the text.

To get full control over formatting you should use the Outlook object model to create a HTML e-mail. You can set the HTMLBody property to a HTML formatted string.

Would this help?

Dim olapp As New Outlook.Application


Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Body_Message As String

Set olapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot

Body_Message = "PUT TEXT HERE" & VBCRLF & "MORE TEXT"

Set olMail = olapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
olMail.Subject = "SUBJECT TEST"
olMail.To = &quot;<person1@wherever.COM>;<person2@wherever.COM>&quot;
olMail.body = Body_Message

olMail.Send
Set olMail = Nothing
Set olapp = Nothing
