Customizing email body on email submit button

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to modify what the body of the email will look like once the user has pressed an email submit button. In Livecycle designer, I clicked on the button and viewed the xml source. I scrolled down to the following line:
               <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:test&test.com?subject=My subject"/>
Then changed it to:
               <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:test&test.com?subject=My subject?body=new body"/>
When I tested the button, the text "?body=new body" was appended to the subject line instead of being included in the body itself.
I wondered if anyone could tell lme where I'm going wrong?
Appreciate any help.

Answer 1

What I ran across in my searching (that worked) was to create hidden fields that contained the data I wanted to use. I also used a "dummy" submit button. The "real" submit button was created as a literal submit button and the following code inserted into the click event of the "dummy" button (which is a Regular button)
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue;
//app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
This code was modified from another's answer, but does the job. The field "SUBJECT" is set as "Hidden" in the presence drop-down of the object tab. I suspect one could add '&body=' as follows
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue + "&body=" + BODY.formattedValue;
You would create the field "BODY" and insert the message text and call the formatted value to fill it in. Set the field to "Hidden" so it does not affect your form layout. I am open to being corrected by more experienced scripters (Please and thank you) if I am in error, here.
