Hi Experts,
I am using mailto protocol to open outlook with email address and subject
auto populated. ie. use mailto:[email protected]?subject=[chinese chars]
if I put chinese chars in the subject part, it passed to
outlook but show as garbage char...

Does anyone know if mailto protocol support unicode? how I can fix this.
thanks a lot!

<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"content-type\" CONTENT=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\">
</head>
<body>
<a href=mailto:[email protected]?subject=表相åŒçš„>test-chinese-utf-8表相åŒçš„</a>
