Email link syntax, multiple name in send line

[jclements]

I tried adding two people for the send line but the semicolon get dropped when the Outlook email dialog appears.

Is there way to add two or more people and, if so, what is the proper syntax?

JDoe@xyz.com; DSmith@abc.com subject:Request to update this web page

Use:

mailto:user1@domain.dom, user2@domain.dom

Each email address seperated by a comma.

Hi Steve, I already tried that and it doesn't work.

Outlook chokes on the comma (and space) and reads both names as one addressee.

I don't use Outlook, but it works for me.

John use the comma and space as Steve mentioned.

Outlook will display it with the comma until it verifies the names.

You can force the verification by clicking the Check Names button on the Ribbon bar in Outlook 2007. I don't recall where that button is located in older versions of outlook.

Bill, the "space" after the comma gets dropped so the send line looks something like this in Outlook:

name@abc.com,name@xyz.com. That is interpreted as one email address by Outlook.
