Re: How Do You Open Default Web Browser and goto URL?

Thanks  - I have got it to work in both cases except where I add a 
subject to the mailto:


This works:  NSString *applicationURL = @"mailto:<email_removed>
  ";

but this doesn't:  NSString *applicationURL = @"mailto:<email_removed>?subject=AlphaDraw
  - Require Registration Help ";

into:  [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[NSURL 
URLWithString:applicationURL]];


If I shorten the Subject to just subject=AlphaDraw it works but it 
looks like any spaces are causing the method to fail.
Any suggestions what may be wrong?

thanks again,

Peter
