Many thanks, Peter. This works well but only if I do not have spaces in the fields for “&body=” etc. How did you get around this limitation? (I am running ConTeXt  ver: 2014.07.11 12:20 MKIV beta.)

All best, Alan

And if you need a newline in the body:

[mailto:xxx@yyy.org?subject=my subject&body=Hi Peter,\%0ABye]
