You can use [URL encoding][1] to encode the newline as `%0A`.

   `mailto:email@address.com?subject=test&amp;body=type%20your%0Amessage%20here`

While the above appears to work in many cases, user olibre [points out][2] that the RFC governing the mailto URI scheme specifies that `%0D%0A` (carriage return + line feed) should be used instead of `%0A` (line feed). See also: [Newline Representations][3].

1. **Use a single `body` parameter** within the `mailto` string
2. **Use `%0D%0A` as newline**

The [`mailto` URI Scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailto) is specified by by [RFC2368](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2368) (July 1998) and [RFC6068](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6068) (October 2010). &lt;br&gt;
Below is an extract of [section 5](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6068#section-5) of this last RFC:

&gt; [...] line breaks in the body of a message MUST be encoded with `&quot;%0D%0A&quot;`.  
&gt; Implementations MAY add a final line break to the body of a message 
&gt; even if there is no trailing `&quot;%0D%0A&quot;` in the body [...]

See also in [section 6](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6068#section-6.1) the example from the same RFC:

    &lt;mailto:infobot@example.com?body=send%20current-issue%0D%0Asend%20index&gt;

The above `mailto` body corresponds to:

    send current-issue
    send index

To get body lines use escape()

    body_line =  escape(&quot;\n&quot;);

so

    href = &quot;mailto:me@my.com?body=hello,&quot;+body_line+&quot;I like this.&quot;;




This is what I do, just add `\n` and use `encodeURIComponent` 

Example

    var emailBody = &quot;1st line.\n 2nd line \n 3rd line&quot;;
    
    emailBody = encodeURIComponent(emailBody);
    
    href = &quot;mailto:me@somesite.com?body=&quot; + emailBody;

Check [encodeURIComponent][1] docs

I have this error in eclipse helios:

**Exception occurred executing command line.

I researched a bit but most of the issues were related to DataNucleus when working on Google App Engine. But I am not using anything remotely related to Google App Engine. I am doing a small project with Servlet 3.0 on JBOSS 6. I am using Hibernate 4.1.2 for ORM and RESTEasy to expose a web service. I created a util file that has a main() method that basically drops and re-creates the schema. I run the main() methos when I need a clean database for testing purposes. It worked fine on Tomcat 7 but it stopped working when I moved to JBoss 6.

Any hint or solution would be greatly appreciated.

For example I have a `textfield`. The field is mandatory, only numbers are required and length of value must be 10. When I try to submit form with value which length is 5, the default error message appears: `Please match the requested format`    

    &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; required=&quot;&quot; pattern=&quot;[0-9]{10}&quot; value=&quot;&quot;&gt;

1. How can I change HTML 5 form validation errors default messages?
2. If 1st point can be done, so Is there a way to create some property files and set in that files custom error messages?

      console.log(&quot;width = &quot; + $(&quot;td&quot;).width());
    });

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    td {

I&#39;m looking to place a video in an HTML5 page that will begin playing on page-load, and once completed, loop back to the beginning without a break. The video should also **NOT** have any controls associated with it, and either be compatible with all &#39;modern&#39; browsers, or have the option of a polyfill.

Previously I would have done this via `Flash` and `FLVPlayback`, but I would prefer to steer clear of `Flash` in the HTML5 sphere. I&#39;m thinking I could use javascript&#39;s `setTimeout` to create a smooth loop, but what should I use to embed the video itself? Is there something out there that will stream the video the way `FLVPlayback` would?

We are writing an MS Outlook plugin. To satisfy our business-logic, it should check all appointments between some dates. We are experiencing several problems with retrieving all items from calendars. We tried two options:

1. Outlook API. We use the standard logic that is described in MSDN - sort items by [Start], set `IncludeRecurrences` to `True` and run the Find\Restrict query over calendar items [like here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa220093(v=office.11).aspx). It works fine in our test environment. However, in our customer&#39;s environment: For recurring appointments, start and end dates are set to the corresponding dates of a &#39;master appointment.&#39; For example, in some room&#39;s calendar we have a weekly appointment that was created in January, and if we try to find all items in August, we get among others four items of this recurring appointment, but their start and end dates are set to January. But Outlook displays correct dates in the same calendar...

2. Very bad, but we still have WebDAV! We write a simple test application and try to query all items from the calendar using WebDAV. Of course, we didn&#39;t reinvent the wheel and just pasted the code from [documentation](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/aa123570(v=exchg.65).aspx). The previous problem is solved, but the next one arises: It doesn&#39;t return recurring items that were created more than approximately six months ago. I Haven&#39;t a clue - there are no parameters restricting &#39;old&#39; items! 

What is wrong? Are we missing something important? 

Technical details: Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003-2010. Frankly speaking, the first error disappears if we turn on Cached Exchange Mode, but we can&#39;t do that.

&lt;!-- language: c# --&gt;

    var nameSpace = application.GetNamespace(&quot;MAPI&quot;);
    var recepient = nameSpace.CreateRecipient(roomEMail);
    recepient.Resolve();
    var calendar = nameSpace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(recepient, OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar);
    var filter = string.Format(&quot;[Start]&lt;&#39;{1}&#39; AND [End]&gt;&#39;{0}&#39;&quot;,
      dateFrom.ToString(&quot;dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm&quot;, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), dateTo.ToString(&quot;dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm&quot;, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
    );
    var allItems = calendar.Items;
    allItems.Sort(&quot;[Start]&quot;);
    allItems.IncludeRecurrences = true;
    var _item = allItems.Find(filter);
    while (_item != null) {
      AppointmentItem item = _item as AppointmentItem;
      if (item != null) {
        if (item.Subject != &quot;some const&quot;)
          &amp;&amp; (item.ResponseStatus != OlResponseStatus.olResponseDeclined)
          &amp;&amp; (item.MeetingStatus != OlMeetingStatus.olMeetingReceivedAndCanceled 
          &amp;&amp; item.MeetingStatus != OlMeetingStatus.olMeetingCanceled))
        {
          /* Here we copy item to our internal class.
           * We need: Subject, Start, End, Organizer, Recipients, MeetingStatus,
           * AllDayEvent, IsRecurring, RecurrentState, ResponseStatus,
           * GlobalAppointmentID */
        }
      }
      _item = allItems.FindNext();
    }

##UPDATE 1:
Additional research using OutlookSpy shows that the problem is not in our code - the Start\End dates are incorrect inside the API when Cached Exchange Mode is off. But Outlook developers were aware of it, and they somehow display correct dates in calendars! Does anyone know how?

### UPDATE 2: 
Answer from Outlook Support Escalation Engineer: 
&gt; Based on this, I can confirm that this is a problem in our product.

I am giving style `height:150px;width:120px` to image for making it of size thumbnail. Actual height and width of this image is very large. Problem is, this style is not taken when mail goes in outlook inbox. So my questions are -

1)How can i make the css work for setting height and width.

2) Image appears blur in **Windown live mail**. I am not sure whether it will persist in outlook when i will succeed in fixing style of height and width. so how can i fix this

I&#39;m trying to understand outlook interaction through win32com better.  I&#39;ve been unable to find clear documentation that allows me to utilise win32com to read emails effectively, from my current investigation it seems like a fairly regular sentiment by users.  Thus comes the following information and request:

Could someone;

**1. Give a link to the location of clear documentation (if it exists)**

**2. Expand on the below**

Below is the current functionality I&#39;ve found based on reading other peoples code.

Take the below code:

    import win32com

    outlook=win32com.client.Dispatch(&quot;Outlook.Application&quot;).GetNamespace(&quot;MAPI&quot;)
    
    inbox=outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)

    messages=inbox.Items

    for message in messages:
        attachments = message.attachments

        for attachment in attachments:
            pass

The objects used above have the following functionality that I&#39;m aware of:

inbox -

    .Folders
    .Items

messages -

    .GetFirst()
    .GetLast()
    .GetNext()
    .GetPrevious()
    .Attachments

message -

    .Subject
    .Body
    .To
    .Recipients
    .Sender
    .Sender.Address

attachments - 

    .item()
    .Count

attachment -

    .filename

If you know of any more functionality then please add to this in your answers.


Clearly documented reading of emails functionality with python win32com outlook

I&#39;m working on a custom implementation of a server (VERY basic WebDAV) that accepts Outlook&#39;s published calendars.

Outlook seems to have a setting (see the screenshot below) where it accepts a parameter form the server that tells it how often to re-publish the calendar and that&#39;s the parameter I&#39;m trying to figure out.

[![Outlook&#39;s Option allowing the server to specify the recommended frequency][1]][1]

If the setting is not specified Outlook defaults to 60 minutes which doesn&#39;t work for me but I cannot find any information on what the parameter might be (I am aware that Outlook&#39;s settings can be adjusted within the UI but I need it done automatically via a response from the server). When using Wireshark I see that when first publishing the calendar Outlook sends a `PROPFIND` method to the URL of the server:

    PROPFIND /path/to/url HTTP/1.1
    X-Office-Version: 15.0.4771
    Depth: 1
    Content-Type: text/xml
    User-Agent: Microsoft Office/15.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Microsoft Outlook 15.0.4771; Pro)
    Host: example.com
    Content-Length: 114
    Connection: Keep-Alive
    Cache-Control: no-cache
    
    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt; &lt;D:propfind xmlns:D=&quot;DAV:&quot;&gt;&lt;D:prop&gt;&lt;D:resourcetype/&gt;&lt;/D:prop&gt;&lt;/D:propfind&gt;

 which then responds with an XML (I&#39;m assuming this is where the setting would be, but cannot find any information on it):

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;&lt;a:multistatus xmlns:a=&quot;DAV:&quot;/&gt;

I&#39;m lost at this point and not sure where else to be looking after lots of Googling and traffic sniffing (of Outlook &lt;-&gt;Exchange communications but none that I found seem to be using the non-default param). Any suggestion where would be a good idea to look for something like this?

Publishing Outlook Calendars. What is the server-side setting for sync frequency?

I need to automatically open a user&#39;s default email client when they save some content on a page. I need to populate the email subject, to address, and put some content in the email body.

What is the best option to achieve this?

 - Email Address **must not be in image form**. 

 - Email address **must be &quot;completely&quot; hidden from spam-crawlers and spam-bots** and **any other harvester type**



----------





Desired Effect:
---------------







 - **No scripts**, please. There are no scripts used in the project and **I&#39;d like to keep it that way**.  

 - Email address is either **displayed on the page** or can be easily displayed after some sort of user interaction, like opening a modal.

 - The **user can click on on the email address** which in turn would trigger the `mailto:` functionality.
 - Clicking the email will open the user&#39;s email application. 

      

    *In other words, `mailto:` functionality must work.*

 - The email address in not visible or not identified as an email address to bots **(This includes the page source)** 

 - I don&#39;t have an inbox that&#39;s full of spam



----------





What does *NOT* Work
--------------------





 - Adding a contact form - or anything similar - instead of the email address



 ***I hate contact forms**. I rarely fill up a contact form. If there&#39;s no email address, I look for a phone number, and if that&#39;s not there, I start looking for an alternative service. I would only fill up a contact form if I absolutely have to.* 



 - Replacing the address with an image of the address



 This creates a **HUGE** disadvantage to someone using a screenreader (**please remember the visually impaired in your future projects**)



 It also **removes** the `mailto:` functionality unless you make the image clickable and then add the `mailto:` functionality as the `href` for the link, but that **defeats the purpose** and now the email is visible to bots.

 

----------


What might work:
----------------




 - Clever usage of `pseudo-elements` in `CSS`

 - Solutions that make use of `base64` encoding

 - **Breaking up** the email address and spreading the parts across the document then putting them back together in a modal when the user clicks a button (This will probably involve multiple `CSS` classes and the usage of `anchor tags`)

 - Alterting `html` attributes via `CSS` 

 @MortezaAsadi gracefully brought up the possibility in the comments below. This is the link to the full - The article is from 2012:

 - [Does e-mail address obfuscation actually work?][6] 



  (The selected answer to this SuperUser question is great and it presents a study of the amount of spam received by using different obfuscation methods.



  It seems that manipulating the email address with `CSS` to make it `rtl` does work. This is the same method used in the first question I linked to in this section. 



  I am uncertain what effects adding `mailto:` functionality to the fix would have on the results. 





 - There are also many other questions on [SO][7] which all have similar answers. I have not found anything that fits **my desired effect**



----------



The Question:
-------------





Would it be possible to **increase the efficiency** (ie as little spam as possible) of the email obfuscation methods above by **combining two or more of the fixes (or even adding new fixes)** while:



 **A- Maintaining `mailto:` functionality; and**

 **B- Supporting screen-readers**


----------
**Edit:** 

Many of the **answers and comments below** pose a very good question while indicating the impossibility of doing this without some sort of `js`

The question that&#39;s *asked/implied* is:

&gt; Why not use `js`?

The answer is that I am allergic to `js`

Joking aside though,

The three main reasons I asked this question are:

 - Contact forms are becoming more and more accepted as a replacement
   for providing an email address - which they should not.

 - If it **can be done** without scripting then it **should be done** without
   scripting.

 - **Curiosity:** (as I am in fact using one of the `js` fixes currently) I wanted to see *if discussing the matter would lead to a better way of doing it.*
