Mailto showing html formatting in Outlook

Hi everyone,

I have a formula url with the following code:

"mailto:" & [External Email Addresses] & "?subject=" & URLEncode([Email Subject]) & "&body=" & URLEncode([Email Body]) & "&cc=" & URLEncode([Internal Email List])

The Email Body field is Rich Text Field in Quick Base.

When I click on the button with sample data I get the results on the two screenshots included.  Any ideas on how to prevent the html from showing?

  • The mailto command will only accept plain text.  You will need to have the body be plain text.

      So do I just make the field a multi-line text field?  If I do that do I keep the URLEncode around it or get rid of that?  I assume keep it since I have spaces etc.
