Hi Abhi ,

Thanks for your reply , The above things works only if the URL is 255 Char if the body contains long text like 500 odd chars . when i pass this URL with all the Content it opens the mail browser but will not create new mail .. Do you have any Idea how to resolve this ?

Waiting for your reply

Yes - send the mail directly from ABAP and not via the mail client. Then you work around the URL parameter limitations. ABAP has mail sending capabilities already built in via the BCS (Business Communication Services). If you want the user to be able to edit the message or choose the sender - you can do that via a Web Dynpro form before actually composing the final email. Here is a blog on the subject of how to use the BCS:
