This is a question regarding the use of mailto in HTML.

Does anyon know if there is a limit on the amount of characters that can be used with this function.

When I use the following statement, everything is OK:

mailto:mhurley@enron.com

However, if I put about 20 email addresses after mailto:, then I get the following error both on Outlook and Notes email:

"Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed"

Any help is most appreciated.

To my knowledge I don't believe there is a limit (unless the default mail program installed on the system isn't or can't be configured for multiple email sending). It would probably be much easier to use the CDONTS object in asp to send your email. That is the one I use for email online simply because not all users have their own email client installed on their machine. Hope this helped you some.
