Thanks Mark I'll give it a try. Right now I can't get my email code to produce the subject or body. Can you tell what my mistake is?

var text Subject = "This is the Subject";

var text Body = "This is the body";

//var text Email = "mailto:" & "" & "mtamoush@gmail.com" & "\n" & "?subject=" & $subject & " &body=" & $Body &"";
var text Email = "mailto:"&""&"mtamoush@gmail.com"&"\n"&"?subject="&"\n"&URLEncode($Subject) &""&"&body="&URLEncode($Body)&"";

"<a href=" & $Email & ">" & "Send Email Test" & "</a>"

  You are building a URL need to travel through the vagaries of the Internet. That means that you need to use URLEncode for any characters which are not A-Z or 0-9 and that means that \n is illegal.
  
  var text Email = "mailto:mtamoush@gmail.com"
  & "?subject=" & URLEncode($Subject)
  & "&body=" &URLEncode($Body);
  
  "<a href=" & $Email & ">" & "Send Email Test" & "</a>"

    Last question - you know how to create a line break in the body? I didn't have luck with %0D%0A unless I am using it wrong?
    
    var text Body =
    "Please process the following New Subcontract Request. Details and a link to the request form are found below."
    & "%0D%0A"
    & "Service Order: " & [SO #]
    & "%0D%0A"
    & "Project ID: " & [Project ID]
