mailto link to support international characters

[Pavils Jurjans]

Hello,

I have this kind of mailto links in my web site:

<a href="mailtoerson Name&lt;[email protected]&gt;">Send Email</a>

All works fine unless the Person Name contain international characters. My
page is in UTF-8 encoding, and sometimes the person names contain
international chars. I want functionality to be such that when the link is
clicked, mail application is poened with only person name visible in the To:
line. But, if there are intl characters, they don't show up correctly in the
To: line. I am testing with OE6. Perhaps there is some smart string I can
attact to the mailto: URI, that defines in what encoding the name comes?

Thanks,

Pavils

Does it work if you use the Numeric or character entity

"é" would be é or &eacute; respectively.
