    mailto function with concatenate body

    Hi,

    I am trying to make a mailto hyperlink with different email body that comes from a concatenate, which combines data from various cells. In the concatenate text (B3) i have added line breaks, but those does not appear in the generated email from mailto. When i manually copy the text in the email, everything looks perfect tho. Tried using %0D%0A in the concatenate body (B9), but then the whole hyperlink returns #VALUE error. How to format the email body so the mailto function keeps the line breaks in the email body? Thanks.

    The problem has something to do with the number of charters in the link_location portion of HYPERLINK(link_location, [friendly_name]). I've seen a limit of 255, but in my case I seems I can have more. Not sure of the "rule" on this, but the length, and not the syntax ended up being the problem.
