I need to launch a new email when someone clicks an item in a list that is displayed as html. So the email will pop up with a mailto:, subject and body. But the body should be a string of text and if possible resolving the user's name but not crucial, something like "John Smith is enquiring about " then following the text it would have the contents of column1, column2.

I have this code below but it enters the word 'spec' into the email and not the value of the item I clicked through from. This is entered into a calulated column in a sharepoint 2010 list.

=CONCATENATE("<a href=mailto:[email protected]?SUBJECT=Hello&BODY=This%20is%20the%20body%20BUY%20[Spec]>LINK</a>")

The syntax should be

=CONCATENATE("<a href=mailto:[email protected]?SUBJECT=Hello&BODY=This%20is%20the%20body%20BUY%20",[Spec],">LINK</a>")

  • Thanks for this, I've now hit the problem of trying to calculate a column that has multiple lines of text so will look at the workaround for that

  • I have a couple of columns where not all the data is coming back due to a comma or a £ or $ sign. How can I include the whole line regardless of what characters it contains?
