Getting around mailto / href / url character limit

I have a mailto link in an anchor tag

<a href="mailto:?subject=Subject&body=Body">Email This</a>

The issue is that the Body parameter is a huge article, and there appears to be a character limit on the url.

Is there a way to get around the limit?

  • Is there a way to get around the limit?

    Very hardly.

    It is even probable that the limitations vary from browser to browser, or from E-Mail client to E-Mail client.

    I would rather use a HTML form and a server-side script to send the message.
