Restriction in mailto link
Restriction in mailto link
am 10.10.2007 12:02:26 von ramesh.thangamani
Can anyone please tell me if there is any restriction on size of
mailto link or the number of email ids it can have. Because currently
in my application i am observing that email all is not working when
there are 142 ids, but it works when there are about 70 ids. Also
Netscape email client works fine for 142 email ids. Is there some
restriction on email clients or mailto has some restriction?

Not sure, but I know that some SMTP servers check the number of recipients
for spamming.
If you are doing
Mail Us, such a long list could be breaking the user's email client.
Better to do it server side and set up forwarding on the mail server.

Thanks Adrienne so i guess we shouldn't use mailto unless we know that
the list is going to be pretty simple.

It should be something like:
Contact Information
ACME Widgets
123 Any Street
Any Town Any Province
Any Country
This will work for people who have an email client available. It will
also work for those who want to copy and paste (if they are using web
based email, etc.)

single email and also they should be in BCC

Then do it server side. If I were you I would set up a mailbox that
those persons want to share, and send a single email to that address.
If you don't have access to your mail server, then still, do it server
side. Set up a table to put those email address into, then loop through
them. Much easier to change a table than have to change many files.
