Email URL Encoder Tool

2 Comments Published October 31st, 2006 in Internet, JavaScript, Lifehacks, Web Tags: .

I've just written this little tool to encode email templates into mailto URLs. It's based on URL Decoder/Encoder by Eric Meyer.
Hope it could be useful to someone.

The "to" field is mandatory. You can specify multiple values separated by comma. For more info on mailto URLs, see rfc2368.
To download this script just grab it from the source of this page.

Mailto URLs do not support extended (8bit) chars so, for example, accented chars won't work. If you have a fix leave a comment.

This tool is provided without warranty, guarantee, or much in the way of explanation. Note that use of this tool may or may not crash your browser, lock up your machine, erase your hard drive, or e-mail those naughty pictures you hid in the Utilities folder to your mother. Don't blame me if anything bad happens to you, because it's actually the aliens' fault. The code expressed herein is solely that of the author, and he's none too swift with the JavaScript, if you know what we mean, so it's likely to cause giggle fits in anyone who knows what they're doing. Not a flying toy.
Thank you for playing. Insert coin to continue.

Hey, very cool! I’m glad you found my tool useful in building yours. I got a laugh out of your re-using the legal disclaimer, too.

I really love that disclaimer :-). Maybe this license could open a new era on free software distribution.
