Open email client and use HTML link

Question

How does one open an email client and embed a body with HTML, so links will work.
I have tried:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]?subject=some subject Results"+"&body="+"<A=href=3Dhttp://www.somelink.com</A>"
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
This is not to be sent to a php page, but load the user's Email Client.

Answer 1

Using URL notation to specify an emails contents you can't force a user to use rich text. Some have their clients to default to plain text. Therefore it will just show the HTML. There is no guaranteed way to achieve this.
If the user has rich text set as default a link being injected typically auto-links anyhow. You may not SEE it as a hyperlink but send the email and the receiving users computer should see it as a hyperlink.
So try:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]?subject=some subject Results&body=http://www.somelink.com");
Then send that email to yourself. You should see it appear as a hyperlink automatically, as long as you have rich text mode enabled. Otherwise no matter what you send a plain text user will never see your hyperlink anyhow as it strips HTML out.
