hi there
i like to open the email app from the device and give some basic data
system.openURL( “mailto:?subject=My%20Subject&body=”… datawert)
works fine…BUT
-
when the datawert does has spaces i get “is not supported by the simulator”
on the real device it just crash.
-
when i try to replace the space with “%20” i use
datawert = string.gsub( datawert, " ", “%20” )
but here i get the problem % is a function so i get:
invalid capture index
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
[C]: in function ‘gsub’
now what 
first how to replace " " with %20
and second maybe solves itself by that

ok as usual five mins later… i have one answer
%%20 would do the job (just add an additional %)
ok… now i can replace " " with “%20”
but finally i also have several linebreaks “\n” in my code and while
doing
system.openURL( “mailto:?subject=MyDays%20History%20&body=”… datawert)
i get
WARNING: url( mailto:?subject=test&body=2011-09-07%20day1
2011-09-06%20day2
2011-09-05%20day3
) is not supported by the simulator
and on the device the screen comes just black… and thats it
but somehow i need that \n to have a line break…
any idea how to make line breaks for the email body without \n ??
(in my native android app that works just fine)

and also last point is solved
datawert = string.gsub( datawert, “\n”, “%%0A” )
so if anyone want to send “\n” by email… just use %0A
greets
